Motor operates fine.Thanks for any help in advance

No..where are they and how do I access them? Can I get these at a local parts store? Thanks

No. They are a convertible mustang part that will need to be sourced off another car. Have you tried lubing the guide post? I sprayed mine with white grease and it helped a lot.

So we cannot purchase new plastic bushing guides?..I have to source used ones off a donor car?

To the best of my knowledge. Cj pony parts would be the best place to look.

I can't recall those being on the 1/4 Windows but they may work. Email lmr and see what they say.
