Hi friends - getting ready to do a repaint and now would be the perfect time to add that lift window I always wanted to - looking for the complete setup glass, hinges, weatherstripping, hydraulics - but if you have any of the parts and a line on how I can get the remaining I sure would like to move on this - thanks - ken

I seem to recall hearing that the setup for the  first and only year of the "Hatchback" for the C3 was prone to problems incuding those listed by Gilbert above

There are some aftermarket hinges being offered on ebay that are machined from billet aluminum and much more substantial than the original ones.  Didnt see any last night when I was browsing the 82 corvette section but they have been listed periodically.  Sure wish mine had the lift glass.

Thank you so very much - here I have been dealing with ebay for 5 years and have NEVER seen anything about a lift window - you gave me the hints to do a search and "Bam" there are hinges, latches, weatherstipping etc.  Everything but the glass - you rock!  THANKS!

If you have been doing research, I am sure you already know that you will need to modify the "roll bar" to accept the hinges, and fabricate something on the window opening to accept the latches.

There are a couple of guys who carry the glass and the repro hinges.  Just google the glass, and you should find the rest.
