Rick, I can offer no advice, but I will be in the same boat as you with my 1916 Coupelet that needs glass. Mark Cameron or Russ Furtsnow would know.

I have a 1917 and a 1918 coupelet, and the window frame is unique in that the bottom of the frame has a channel that has the capability of holding the window up. The channel goes over the "blade" attached to the bottom of the door window and quarter window. Are you missing the window frames? Russ Furstnow

I replaced the window channels in my 27 Tudor several years ago. I found the channels offered by Langs and Snyders to not fit at all. An online serach found Stanpro. I used their part number 75000038 to be an exact fit, so I did the front windows. I recently went to order some more for the rear windows and found Stanpro no longer has their own website. I found this company with Stanpro and others with a variety of channel sizes.

and

Seems this type of window channel is used in the boating industry.

You might check them out to see if they have anything that fits. Or if they can do custom sizes. I haven't ordered anything yet.

I know of no "window channel" that was used on any coupelets from 1915-1919. The window rode in the wood channel of the doors and had some "anti" rattle rollers when the window was up. I hope this helps, Russ Furstnow

Russ, yes, the frames I would like to make new ones. mine are verry rough and it would be much easier to make new ones.
