Made a minor repair last night. Took out the leaking oil pressure switch and put in the new. I have not really checked to see if that solved my oil leak problem or not, but I should get the chance today or tomorrow. I am anxious to put my pop out windows in, but may have to bring the 56 to a work day so that I can get some help.

I did my 66 but the holes are pre-drilled making it pretty easy. No holes from what I understand in the 56 so any advice I can get would be helpful.

I did my 55, they arent bad, there's pretty much only one way they can go in. Just make sure the window is pushed all the way into the body, then mark and drill the hinge holes. Attach the hinges, then mark and drill the holes for the latches, thats it, piece of cake. ;)

Make sure the hinges are in good shape. Mine were mangled and I spent more time straightening them then anything. Also check that the outside rubber is installed properly.
