After 6 years I am finally ready to re-install the side windows in a 1973 Satellite. I have searched the entire internet, yes all of it, and no one has any parts listed for the 1973-1974 B body window Hardware kits. I can not even find them listed individually. I do not know what they are called but here is a pic of them. I would like a complete "kit" with all the fasteners but these are what I absolutely need. Anyone know where I might find them.
Not sure how to insert the pics inline here so they are attached, I think.

The 1973-74 E Body kit looks like it may be the same anyone know for sure?

the only place i saw with that kind of stuff was mega parts.
the door stuff they do sell isn't the greatest or exact to original.
another way is to keep your eye out for a cheap set of rotted doors.
that is how i gathered up enough parts to put my 71 doors back together.
 
I had the same problem about 5 years ago, so I went around to my local automotive glass shops, and finally found one that still had old stock, and the manager let me take the remainder of his stock, which was enough to replace all mine and have a couple of spares.

So you might check around your local area and see if you can find some.

I have a parts car, and it has the same issues with these parts, but I am always on the lookout for parts.

Good idea, I will have to try that. Thanks

They don't have anything listed for the 73-74 B body, and I looked through all the parts and nothing seems to match up except maybe a kit for the 71 Dodge demon.

they were the only place that even had those kind of parts as
i have checked with a bunch of different vendors looking for that kind of stuff before.
i will tell you the kits they sell are cheap and some parts that are metal come in plastic..
i needed a plastic stop that screws into the glass and it was in of one of their kits.
it annoyed me having to buy a whole kit for one small piece.

that metal screw and plate you could clean up and reuse no problem by tumbling them.
that plastic part is what you really need.
if you have no luck with the demon stuff
check with some guys parting some 73 b's on this site
sometimes the only way to finding this stuff is to source out something original
as i have been down this road a few times before.
 
OK this is the kit I ordered, the parts I needed, see pic earlier in thread, were exactly the same. As a bonus the Up stops were also the same and will be used. The rollers are different but I did not need them anyway. The Parts also seem to be of descent quality, what should have been metal is metal and not plastic so I am satisfied.

Any chance that you still have these mounting discs (see blue circle in pic below) for the glass not installed yet? If so can you possibly get close up pics of these? Both sides?
Thanks

Here is what the original fastener looks like, its a two part clip. I got these from old stock at a local glass shop.

Thanks for the pics!! So are the ones in that kit similar to these?

Hard to tell because the pictures is from above, so I cannot tell how they lock in place and if its like the original ones.
 
I just posted pictures of what the originals look like, so you can see what NOS ones look like so you have a reference if you buy reproductions.
 
Glad to see you found a match. Stuff like that it's always worth checking with R/T Specialties, too. Tom is sort of a one-man show, so you may have to try a little harder to get a hold of him than a place like Year One, but his knowledge and inventory (including trailers of NOS hardware) are worth the call.
