Default Re: Rear quarter window on 40 tudor

Just went through this. The small stop screw must be removed from the glass setting chanel. The glass/channel will accept the regulator arm rollers when the regulators are first brought up as far as possible and then slowly lowered slightly while positioning the glass/channel so as to allow the regulator spring loaded rollers to engage one at a time into the glass/channel as you crank slowly. The engagement is just visible through a small hole up high in the interior panel. I suggest a patient helper standing outside the car holding the glass while you work the regulator handle and observe the parts with a flashlight through the hole. Once the rollers are engaged try not to crank the glass to the fully closed position until the stop screw is refitted or you will be doing it all over again. Also helps to have some white grease on the rollers and in the channel to help things along some. The regulator must be in perfect working order as well. I also used a hook tool through the small upper hole to help position the reg. in/out or the glass/channel in/out at the time they were about to engage. luck
