Re: IML: 60 Imperial Le Baron sedan $2800 ROOF ISSUE.

["Steven Neville" <stevenjohn90@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Regarding the roof issue, I myself have a 1961 LeBaron with the same problem 
with the outline of the larger window. I still need to find a body shop that 
I can trust to rework the LeBaron rear window insert.
I Love this site.
