Couple Questions - 63 SDV

[Tom Bahner]

I've got a couple questions for those in the know.

What years Cad V  hood ornament will interchange? One point is broken on mine. Anyone have one?

OK, so I must be just dumb. How the heck do you get the driver door panel off?. I know there's screws on the bottom, nails on the sides. I can get the control panel up to disconnect. Inside door handle? etc?

Also, the wiper/washer motor and switch - what years interchange?

Thanks for any help.

Hi Tom,

It's great to have you with us. I caught one error in re-reading my post.  It should have said plastic and not metal in the following:

63 & 64 wiper/washer motor assembly will interchange however you will usually see a metal cover over the washer pump assembly on the 63 vs the plastic one on the 64.

Thanks Jason for all the great info. With you, Russ and others on this board willing to share your knowledge, keeps these fine old cars rolling down the road.

Thanks again.

63 hood V smaller than 64,

63 & 64 wiper/washer motor assembly will interchange however you will usually see a metal cover over the washer pump assembly on the 63 vs the plastic one on the 64.

Driver door panel...here's a rough rundown...might miss something.

Remove door lock know, arm rest switch panel, and disconnect connectors at switches. door handle chrome finish cover at front of arm rest pad, door handle, mirror handle, perimeter screws around bottom and sides of door panel, large screws threw ends of the door pull handles, vent window handle (if manual vents) using special tool.

Pry panel away starting at bottom and working your way up. Some use ring shang type nails to press in the side top areas...they will need to be pried back.

Lift door panel up off top of door metal, the lower front section so that mirror rod slides out of mirror chrome guide, then pull up and away from door disconnecting courtesy light connector (64 has courtesy light in rear of arm rest, and 62 series does not have a light, so it all depends on body style and year. )
