1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.

Just got an email from Steve Simpson who makes the only reliable replacements for 82 rear window hinges that I know of.  I have had a set on my car for over 4 years.  His wife has had a set on her daily driver for much longer time than that.  Which by the way is how he got into the business of making window hinges for 82CEs.  All married men know happy wife happy life. 

If you have a jammed rear window this is your chance to get that issue taken care of.  

He only makes these once or twice a year so there can be a wait of 6 to 9 months and at sometime he may no longer make them.  When he does make them he makes 8 to 10 sets at one time.  The email said he was making a batch of 8 and had sold 7 of those sets.  What that means is someone has a chance to do what I did and order a set and only have to wait a month or so to receive it. 

This is not a business to him but a labor of love and support for the 82CE community.  Do not get me wrong in that they are not free he does charge for them.  I have forgotten what the cost was but it was what I considered reasonable.  

He does not sell to commercial dealers but only to owners so there are some questions and some information he will want to checkout. 

If you are in that situation email Steve at steve@thecubestudio.com.
