Convertible Owners??

Do any of you have a rawhide pull on the zipper fly for your rear window?

Reason I ask is I have been shown a picture of an NOS rear window with the pull on it.

I have found by the pictures that the correct color for this pull in Black Oil-Rubbed available from a leather supplier on-line and that about 8" will do the job-installing it the way the picture suggests.

I have racked what little brain I have left and I DO remember my Mom's 1965 Convertible that she bought in 1967 having this pull.

On the zipper pull it depends on what manufacture the rear window was. some rear windows manufactures had it some didn't it depends look around at different original windows

Any known specifics on this? the picture I have with a pull is on an NOS TRI-LITE window......do the Vinylite and Boltaflex windows commonly have pulls?

Sorry, I bought the folding glass

Rick: The one I sent a pic of is the Boltaflex. I know I have seen the leather pull on several original tops, one being a Vinylite. In my opinion, the leather pull was a Ford spec for the time period.
