Do the attached pictures from the Body Service Manual help? Looks like they attach on a bracket and with one screw.

Challenger RTA, you always have pictures! The "quarter window track" hole is where the screw for the rail goes I think.

I went out to look at my 71 Barracuda, but unfortunately I have so much "stuff" crammed inside the interior, I couldn't get a picture. If necessary, I can try again tomorrow. Forces me to clean it out!

The first one is a 70. This one is 71 . There might be a difference. by the way this is how the rope caulk was installed for the air shield.

I guess I'll have to take the stuff and cram it into my other garage. Just a few years back helped my brother build a shed 24x40 when he already has 3 other garages. I think we have a problem.

We have a 2500 sqft home, 24x34 garage, two 12x20 sheds, and a 24x36 barn with four car ports attached! Nature abhors a vacuum, so the more space you build, it sucks in "stuff".

John, I will clean out my Barracuda tomorrow and post some pictures with the quarter window in place.

Thanks, you really don't need to do all that. Had a 30x40 garage, had to build another 30x40 just to have enough room for all the parts from this car. I get it, it all good stuff lol. Big problem

So I spent most of the day cleaning out a corner of my barn and putting up a 4'x2'x6' shelf unit and put all of the stuff in my barracuda on said shelves. I looked at my quarter windows and they don't have the rear tracks! I will try to take pictures tomorrow.

Challenger RTA, Moparleo, are 72 e-body's quarter windows different than 71s? I didn't find the 72 Body Shop manual free download online, only the Chassis service manual. If John has a setup like my 71 Barracuda (May 5th build date), there is no bracket for the rear track as there is no rear track!!
