I am looking for a hardtop roof vent in usable shape for my '64. Mine's a bit for gone. Pictures for reference-

That's pretty tough to find and yours looks salvagable. If you do find one one better I'd be interested in yours.
The latch design is shared on the front door wing window and a nice reproduction knob has been made by @andybudge.

I pondered a leak proof, openable sail boat window that fits the hole. I found one but never used it. The original design is said to be a challenge to seal.

Thanks for the feedback Kitty!.Alas, that is a photo I found which reminded me I am looking for one. This is the state I found mine in, lichen coated roof included -

If it must it can be tig welded up, all the parts are there just a bit crusty, dusty and worn. Like the rest of the Cruiser, but therein lies its charm (and the fact it was essentially untouched, 99% complete and starts on the first swing of the green starter).
 
Yup. The lid is the worst on mine too. It would be a cool touch to restore it.
