I am looking for the springs and rubbers for the window flappers of my 57 Ford Fairlane 2 dr hardtop. Would anyone know where I might be able to find them?
An ebay seller sometimes has refurbished ones (expensive). He also will rebuild them for people(probably expensive) maybe he will sell parts. I will try to find his contact info (if I have it).
That would be great.. Thanks a bunch

I haven't found the rebuild guy yet. The link above is from a GOOGLE search I did on "window flipper rebuild parts". Yes-it's a Chevy place, but it's highly possible that an outside vendor supplied many car makers with similar parts...sooo, maybe some of the parts will work. After all, the 55-57 electric wiper motor is a bolt-on for 57 Ford. I'll keep trying, as I'm interested too. If I ever get a HT it will likely need flipper work.
We were able to find a roof seal rubber which goes in between the roof and the flipper. This part was not available in any Ford parts catologueas.Funny thing is this was for a 57 Chevy and it fits perfectly.
Hmmm-you might be on to something. If you could get an old Chevy flipper to compare maybe some parts are interchangeable.
Yep good chance there might be :001:
