Re: AlfettaGT glass & trim on a GTV6?

["Paul Bayly" <thebaylys@domain.elided>]

If the earlier car (Alfetta GTV 2000) has a rubber seal, then the glass
should fit into the GTV6.  If it is the bonded type off the Alfetta GT (1.8)
it wont fit.   I would think that the stainless strips are getting rare and
expensive, and they are rust traps around the side glass.  When fitting the
windscreen, fit the s/steel strip to the rubber, rubber to glass, then
assembly to body in that order.   Kink the strip and it will bother you
forever !

It's a long while since I looked at a V6 but check that the strips arent
just painted or rubber coated.   They may be s/steel underneath and simply
require a buff and polish.

My Aussie (Euro) 1979 GTV had green tint, and my '76 GT had clear.   IIRC
the first Aussie V6s had the radio antenna in the windscreen glass.

Subject: AlfettaGT glass & trim on a GTV6?

Greetings Alfisti, does anyone know if the window glass, stainless steel
trim and rubber from an Alfetta gt will fit on a Gtv-6? I would like to
incorporate the stainless look on my gtv6. I saw a picture of a gtv-6 for
sale in New Jersey a couple years ago that seems to have done this. Also,
did the alfetta come with green or clear glass? I think the US gtv6's all
had bronze tinted glass. Converting to all green or clear glass would be
fine with me.

Thanks,
Steve Remington
