Is there a good source for articles on removing, repairing, and reinstalling power windows?

Thank you,

How far away from the raised area on the trunk lid should edge of surface A be.  Or putting it another way how far from the outer edge of the trunk lid should the edge of surface A rubber be.

[63 headlight trim on 72 Avanti II]

Thank you. My 72 RQB 1882 has round headlight enclosures.  I just acquired the car in January, 2023. 

[63 headlight trim on 72 Avanti II]

I have a 1972 Avanti II RQB 1882 with round headlight trim as was used on 1963 production.  I always have thought that my car might have been in an accident and the front end was repaired to with the 1963 trim.  In the Avanti magazine issue 203 there is an article about a 1972 or 1973 (identified as a 1972 in the pictures of the 2023 International meet attendees and as a 1973 in the article entitled Black Beauty on page 20 of the same issue with round headlight trim. One of the pictures shows the serial number to be RQB 1984. Was there an option to have round headlight trim in 1972 or 1973 when these cars were built?

On mine, I am replacing the upper and lower control arm bushings, King Pins with bearings/bushings/shims, Upper A Arm bumpers, Front Shocks and all related bolts/nuts/washers.  The King pins are remanufactured and require a core charge which is refunded once my old pins are returned.

Specifically which parts are you going to have to replace.  I have not taken my 72 to the alignment shop yet but i would like to have all the parts available in case I have the same problem.

Thank you.  I have the parts manual and service manual.  You answered my concerns.  🙂

[Front Wheel Alignment]

Thank you.  However, I think my front suspension looks different than the diagram you included.  Is it possible that they changed between 1972 and 1982?

[Front Wheel Alignment]

I have a 1972 Avanti II.  I have been told that my car has a Lark convertible frame and the front suspension is also the same as a Lark. I am trying to determine what the caster angle should be. The alignment shop report shows the caster angles as -2 degrees on both wheels.  From the Avanti Workshop Manual the caster angle should be = / - 3/4 degrees.

Any insight on this issue would be appreciated

Thank you.  Did you use the 3 point adjustable belts or the retractable belts.

Has anyone found modern three point seat belts that do away with the need to attach the shoulder belt to the lap belt and that bolts up to the attachment points on my 72 Avanti

Newbe here.  Recently purchased a RQB-1882. I have the passenger door panel removed and the wires came loose from the switch.  Attached is a photo of the wires and a photo of the switch.  Which color of wire attaches to which post.
