When can I choose my seat on Qantas if I booked on AA?

I've booked an econ ticket on AA and have confirmed seats on the AA legs but I was unable to choose seats with the codeshare partner Qantas.
Route BOS>JFK>SYD and return SYD>LAX>BOS

Do I have to wait until checkin to choose (get lumbered with) a seat with Qantas or can I somehow do this in advance and if so is it free?

I really want a window seat!

Thanks for any advice!

Have you called QF?

Get your ticket number and itinerary handy and call Qantas. Tell they you don't have a confirmation code but do have a ticket number. It is a 13-digit number starting with 001 (for AA). After you get your seat assignments ask them for the Qantas confirmation code and write that on your itinerary with the AA confirmation code.

Duh, I should have thought of that.
Thanks, I'll call Qantas.

Update, Qantas won't confirm a seat as it's a codeshare (booked with AA) but I requested a window seat on the right side as I have a right shoulder injury.

The agent noted my requests and did give me a seat number but warned me it would drop out of the system and I have to call to reconfirm the day before departure (and do the same before the return flight).
