    Rear Seat Removal

    I just bought a 1991 5.0 LX ragtop--the top goes up and down fine, but the right rear window won't move.

    Does anyone recognize this item?

    It's a metal console with thee main pieces, they have what appear to have Ford part numbers (C5OB, 1965?)--they were mounted on a plastic shifter console, the only remaining piece is the black thing on the far right end. The metal is in new condition. It looks like an automatic shifter went in...
