Greetings

I'm new on the board. Have an 88 Allante that was sitting in a yard for several years. I'll be posting a lot, I'm sure. :disappoin

My immediate goal is to reduce the entry of water into the car from the rear window. The pulldown system will not hold the rear window to the body.

I have read and adjusted the latch as per AllanteSource.Com, but try as I might, I cannot get the pulldown latch to hold the J-Hook all the way. It keeps slipping off. It's almost as if the latch claw is too small for the hook, it can't grab it sufficiently and slips off.


Thanks In Advance

Welcome to CadillacForums.com

If you are in NJ and anywhere close to Philly, you might want to contact John Monzo in Turnersville, NJ. John is a great guy that love Allantes and I am sure that he can help you. John has his own Allante/XLR club and also has a museum dedicated to the Allante in his home. You may want to contact him via email to discuss your problem. His email is

Good Luck with your new Allante, and I hope you can get yours in tip top condition after talking with John.

Hi Don,

Thanks for the tip about John. I may just need to see how a properly-operating system works.

Gratefully,
