mfg Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 A nylon cord is a 'must have' when installing Avanti front or rear glass. (windshield or backlight)........What other mechanical task, pertaining to '63-'85 Avantis, is a nylon cord needed for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling the wires down the steering column when installing a new turn signal switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mentioned it, I remember using that technique on Studebakers in the 1960s - early 1970s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
