Re: 55-57 one piece windows

All these years later still thinking about the Trique latches. Found a pic of a partial install, and I really don't see how there is room with the window track moved back in the door. It looks pretty tight at the top. Wanting to autocross and wanted better (without slamming) latches. Heard stories about doors popping open with stock latches but have not seen it yet. Maybe I should look into some kind of sliding pins like they use on suicide door street rods?

I made mine work.

Got a video on my phone of it where you can see my door glass template going up and down with the altman latches and panels on the door.

Re: 55-57 one piece windows

Since I am 99 percent sure my window tracks would interfere and don’t want to relocate them for bear claws, I used suicide door pins unconventionally. Carolina Custom electric pins mounted in the jam rather than the door. Now I can guarantee the doors won’t come unlatched on corners and when I wire them up (and to my car alarm) I’ll have remote electric door locks. No fighting with the key while the wifey complains that I’m too slow.
