I posted this question a month or so ago, but still in need of help - we're having a heck of a time finding a picture of what goes above the front windows on the car.... the car is almost ready to start driving (YEAH!!) but I can't go anywhere in the rain with the big open spaces above those windows(see pic below).... If anyone out there has a 60 lark hardtop like mine, a pic would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!!!!! You guys (and gals) out there on the forum have really been super and have made this project doable for us.

Get all 3 manuals that cover your lark. You will find pics. part #s, and discriptions for whatever you need. Once you have that info, you can order parts by part numbers. Don't be discouraged if you don't find a part in a vendors catalog. Studebaker International just found an obscure part ( not listed in the catalog ) for me. If you call with a part# they will look for it in the warehouse, and probably find it.

Looks like you have a hard top. On mine (55K) there are flipper mechanisms. Studebaker Int'l had replacement springs and parts for mine. You may need a donor unit. S.I. may even have them.Dave Warren (Perry Mason by day, Perry Como by night)

The part you need is a molded piece of rubber thats attached to a metal strip and it screws in place above the window. This part for your Lark is no longer available but the same functioning part for an Avanti will substitute. The part for the Avanti is longer and needs to be cut off, but otherwise it will work fine. 1351334-5 is the part number and it is available from us as well as from other vendors.
