Started pulling off the vinyl roof today and yes I was very nervous of what I would find.
So far it's actually not too bad for rust in the rear window channel or the opera window hole.
There are three hidden speed nuts for each piece holding the trim at the bottom of the vinyl around the rear window.
There was also a strip of black tape around the rear window trim, half on the paint and half on the trim. And also notice that the corner piece is not shiny metal but plastic.
Overall I'm happy with the state of rust around the rear window

They were huge! My dad had one. 👍

Absolutely LOVE this build diary. Read the whole thing top to bottom! Can't wait to see the fully finished project. I sold my Road Runner convertible a while back and now I'm looking for a 1977 or 76 LTC to resto-mod and drive wheels off of! Also following you over at the Lincoln forum.

You're really making me miss the '78 Town Coupe I had 30+ years ago.
