I Have a few questions for the knowlegeable folks here. Where does the twin traction emblem go? Can you remove the dash without removing the windshield? Are gaskets for the rear side windows available? Are there any roof roller replacement tips? Thanks, Bish

I believe on the gas filler door...but I can't remeber seeing one on a wagonaire, gaskets ....weatherstripping is available....try Studebaker International...
I made my own rollers for my roof section....I used good quality shower door rollers...they have stainless steel ball bearings...and roll quite well...Bill Foy

The Dash can be removed in all Studebakers with the Windshield in.
The rear cargo area window Weatherstrips are not available.
I also have never seen a Wagonaire with a TT Emblem from the factory, and I have owned 3 with Twin Traction.StudeRich

You can remove the dash without removing the windshield.
I ordered both rear gaskets from SASCO a couple of years ago and only received one side (and they had low inventories on those) - SI may have found more so check with them.
SASCO was completely out of the roller tips at the time too, so check with SI to see if they managed to find more.Scott Rodgers

Well maybe, except for a good number of '63 GT Hawks that did use up a lot of leftover Gas Doors with the TT Emblem on them, of course WITH the TT option.
Mine is one of many early cars like that, it also has the early flush mounted Parking Light Lenses and the Silver non-Walnut right hand dash & glove box overlay panels.StudeRich

I can answer some questions -
Nothing after '62 had a TT emblem. At least not fitted by the factory.
Yes you can remove the dash without removing the windshield.
Unfortunatly the rear side glass seals have not been available for many years.
The rear rollers were in stock at SASCO so they are probably still available from SI.
Hope this helps!
