I did have the glass in with the window channels installed. On the back door I couldn't get the glass & channels to go into the opening. I had the channel bent out at the top to get the glass started, and then tried to push it into the opening as I rolled the window down. After I got the glass below the top of the opening I couldn't get it to push in. I removed the glass & channel to take the measurements.

I guess I am looking for how much space (gap) should be between the glass & the inside of the channel for proper window operation. As always, I am not sure the new window channel is the same thickness as the old channel I removed. My old channel was glued in from top to bottom so it was damaged when I had to pull it out.
