NOS or close 1/4 windows

I sold my NOS quarter windows and now need another set for 87-88 Tbird TC, black moulding. Looking for NOS or real close. I know I can get a set on Ebay for $425, just seeing if anyone has some or knows where to get them.

Are ones from an lx or base the same? They aren't NOS but they look nice.

Can they really get $425 for these?  Seems a little pricy to me for a item that has very little demand?

That's because they are used.A near 100% chance that if they are used,they have dry rot on them.

is there not a way to bring them back to what they should look like?  I was thinking about this today...

I did an  experiment with a black rubber spray on sheet metal. I believe they can be refurbished if the original rubber isn't to cracked and dried out, I'll try to find my test piece while I'm out in the shop tomorrow. I may use it myself to black out my chrome around the window. It appears to have the same look and texture as the rubber side mouldings. I'm not really sure how it will wear in daily weather though.

These MAY work....

I've heard that one can use different grits of wet-or-dry sandpaper to remove some of the dry rot,and then buff the rubber molding to smooth.I need an old window to experiment on.Now I have another project when the weather clears.

I got some fullsize pics via email from him. Not really what I was looking for.

I have seen some window that have been "reconditioned" and they look ok.

I should have a pair of NOS shipped out to me today!

I have to ask.....how much were they? I found a window shop here in town that can get them for something like $175 each.
