Door glass installation questions.

Post by varmint » Wed Aug 20, 2025 8:03 am

I'm installing the glass windows in a 26-7 Coupe.
Question 1: First three photos...the lower glass channel is physically too long to fit. My original shows glass protruding past the channel. How long should it be?

Question 2: Photo 4...the knob on the reproduction regulator does not spin. Is it supposed to roll or merely slide?

Question 3: Photo 5...the channel for the "roller" (not the channel for the glass) does not extend all the way to support the knob when lowered. When I shorten the channel, should I cut all the excess from the A-pillar side?
