Re: wanted 66 bird signal relay

sounds like it could be the large relay in the back of the car, that is the signal light relay. The one under the dash is the signal indicator light relay for the front top fender lights. Do you have brake lights? I have seen on those large relays that sometimes a wire will come loose from those lit...

Re: 1987-88 roof emblem part number

They are not.
I sent one from a 85 to a customer and they sent me photos of the holes in the roof versus the pins on the part
they do not match
I had to take the part back

Re: Tray motor bushing/sleeve

Good afternoon

my bet is that the small metal connector plate between the motor and the gearbox has dislodged and jammed in there. That piece of rubber actually holds it all together. you could use a piece of thin hose or tubing for this, just so it does not bind with the framework of the housing.

Re: '65 Thunderbird Dorman Power Window Motors

1966 is the same as yours
if you want to use the 64 you will also have to have the little gearbox from the 64
yours and the 66 have the gearbox built onto the motor,
the 64 is separate but the pair together will fit onto your regulator
