[DeTomaso] Rear Quarter Windows and Trim

[michael@michaelshortt.com]

I've never seen one.

I would suggest that you examine the rear side  window mechanism on a
1960/70 Mustang.
It is essentially two pivot points point and a simple turn to close latch,
probably available new from restoration
suppliers.  I'm trying to remember if it is also frameless, I think it is,
if not the later copy on a 1977 Toyota Celia probably was.
