I think that's what Russ wants to know. Got me stumped.
Russ, I have what I believe is the factory PW option on my 62 convertible project, but I don't recall seeing a retainer. I'll check when I'm back out there

.i I I I don't remember a retainer in that location either. I have several of these in the leftover pile from a couple of different projects???Russ, I have what I believe is the factory PW option on my 62 convertible project, but I don't recall seeing a retainer. I'll check when I'm back out there
I've had those in my hand at some point and think I remember using them but I'm not there yet.
Those plates( there need to be 8 of them with 16 sheet metal mounting screws) - mount the two power window boots to the door jamb and the jamb on the car for factory power windows.
They are very hard to find. I only i one set for my 62 Impala SS with power windows. I had to make some of the plates for my 62 Impala SS hardtop with power windows.
You need “rubber“ power window boots around the power window wiring harness to seal up the power window jambs from leaking water inside the car
I believe all 61 to 64 chevys had those plates and the rubber power window boots to keep water out of the car and the doors. For sure 61 & 62‘s had those plates and rubber boots.
“All” the factory door jambs in all models in those years have “knock out plates and marked dimples” in the door jambs to locate the boots and mounting plates that hold the rubber boots against the jambs for the power window wiring harnesses to the doors.
All factory power window cars had the oval plates knocked out( they are tack welded to each jamb - to allow them to be knocked out).
For Any car that did not have the plates removed they can be seen as “depressed oval mounting areas and dimples” to mark the drilling locations ( 4 of them) are visible on every car built (61 & 62 for sure & I think 63 & 64’s)

I just looked at the reproduction 63-64 boots and 61-62 rubber boots and they are very similar.
i would bet that 63 -64’s have the same/or very similar plates to hold the rubber boots to the jambs.
I have lots of pictures of these boots/ plates installed on my 62 SS impala on my computer but not home to post them.

I'm confused! Again. That knocks my recollection right out of the water and is flopping around aimlessly. Makes me wonder what else has not happened in my life? I'm starting to feel like Walter Mitty! Oh well insanity is at least amusing.
