No, and might have to replace wood over F. doors if it doesn't jive with header, and that requires peeling back top Then there's headliner at front and windscreen removal and possible interior A pillar trim. Fortunately, you have all Winter.. This is how A's grow on you. The good thing is they will clean out the fuzz in your pockets. Good time to pull the tank for cleaning while the W/S is out and don't forget the dome light wiring and wire or vacuum line for wiper..Keeping it simple: IF IT'S IN YOUR WAY, MOVE IT. Oh I misread, your only replacing the metal cover and not the wood. Now look how much you're going to miss out on.

I am thinking you could remove it with the visor in place, and use the fender welting. Renailing the cover back may be tough with the visor there, but i’m sure you can figure something out.3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

by KB9JLOThinking a little bit down the road, I would like to be able to 'open' my front window. I can't now because there are no screws in the windshield hinge and I figured out quickly that's because the screws that held the hinge fell out and the header is rotten. As part of the parts collection process I've been looking at all the vendors for the header wood piece. Of course all of them carry it - that...

by donhHow do I remove the old header from my 30 2window 4 door 170D Delux? I have removed the visor and front sheetmetal. The top fabric is off. The bolts have been removed from inside the car.
I'm not sure what is holding it? Are there more bolts or sheet metal to loosen?

by gdaquilinaDoes the interior metal header above the windshield need to be removed to install the new upholstered trim between the metal header and the headliner? If so, does the windshield have to be removed to remove the interior metal header?...

by BrentWorking to remove the top wood on a 30 Tudor (thanks to Mitch's advice). The front header is removed, but I'm struggling to get the side header out, particularly the carriage bolt behind the front corner bracket. I looks like I need to remove either the corner bracket or the metal body above the nut. Any thoughts on getting to this? I could cut the wood out, but I'm guessing I'll have the same...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

by slamminStill trying to figure out what I need to complete the car. Since the car has a new top, I would have thought all the wood was present. Checking the Fordwood site, they mention "header/front" under the top wood section, but don't show a sketch of what it looks like. I've looked at photos of Tudors that don't have a top or headliner and can't tell if something in mine is missing. I've enclosed...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

by DennisOk I have some questions beings I’m working in this area now.
1. My wood is dry and solid, no damage other than some small cracks from nails etc. this car has had the covering on top replaced once before. So now I’ve got several holes to dodge when I put my new top on. Suggestions please on plugging the existing holes with something.
2. the front corners appear to have had something...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

by rheacoxFigured I'd make a new thread since I hijacked the previous thread I was posting on, https://www.vintagefordforum.com/for...th-a-30-fordor.
So, I pulled the T bracket and looked and poked and the results were worse than I thought (shocker). Aft of the center pillar the roof rail is hollow... pictures are attached, I tried to get the light positioned right...

by CSPIDYHas anyone had good experience with replacement visors from the vendors?
I had removed mine to access the windshield to remove my cowl tank. (The domino effect)
I removed the vinyl because I wanted to leave it painted instead of covered and found a lot of pitting and some rust through.
I purchased a replacement from Mikes but it will not fit the car without some modification....-
