vent window bracket

Recommended Posts

I am in the process  of putting my windows in my new door shells and have these right angle brackets #41516454333 that 

according to the parts catalogue bolt to the bottom of the vent window frame. Can anyone shed some light on what the 

purpose of these are?? or if they go somewhere else? They see to just be in the middle of nowhere.

cheers,

It bolts to a ledge in the bottom of the door shell, it's critical to define the angle of the quarterlight assembly and sealing against the door aperture seal

As you start to replace your door's innards, you'll notice that almost everything is adjustable, including the vent window frame.  It's adjustable in three planes, and the bracket that supports the trailing edge of the window glass is adjustable in two.  All these adjustments are designed to allow adjustment of both the vent window frame and the window glass so that it seals properly against the door opening perimeter gasket, thus (kinda) preventing wind whistles and leaks.  It also is crucial in allowing the door glass to move up and down smoothly, and seal properly at the top.

 

I did a column on fiddling with all those adjustments; PM me for a copy.

I know there is a bracket at the bottom of the vent frame which is in place but this one is 

a smaller bracket and according to the parts diagram attaches to the bottom of the short

vertical frame section. I you look up the part # you will see what I am talking about.

# 12 secures the front of the vent window frame to the door.

# 11 secures the rear of the vent window frame to the bottom of the door.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
