FERRARI 456 WINDOW MECHANISM REPLACMENT - Ferrari Life

The Parts:
There are several part numbers associated with this older 456 GT mechanism, if not per side, then by
modification by Ferrari for issue. The oldest mechanism was inadequate from the start, causing what is
commonly known as the ‘window gapping’ problem. The pics below are first, the original, part and
second the upgraded newer part, that almost did away with the problem. The key to the second part is
the adjustment points [see circled screws] that allow for higher placement of the glass if not ability to
alter the aspect of front and/or rear of the glass meeting points.
The adjustments are much better and encouraged for easier and normal use of windows facing a wear
problem. I’ve read/heard and somewhat understood there is a pivot point made of aluminum and some
have replaced such with a stronger stainless steel pin: I cannot address that ‘fix’ and not sure what
point they are referring.
