Topic: 1948 vent glass bugs

  I believe that the "bugs" on the vent windows are in the lower back corners. Can someone give me the measurements from the back and bottom edges.
Thanks!

  On my '46 Station Wagon with original glass and the dimensions taken to the center of the Ford oval are 1 and 3/16" from the back edge of the glass and 1/2" up from the edge of the stainless frame. I'm curious for other owners to chime in to see if all the "Bugs" are in the same location.

  On my 42 wagon I measured a little differently. I measured to the edge of the oval. On the passenger side the oval starts 5/8" in from the back edge of the glass on the side and 1/2" up from the metal frame. On the driver side the oval starts 11/16" in from the back edge of the glass on the side and 1/4" up from the metal frame. This is original glass in both cases.
Just goes to prove Ford wasn't perfect.
