I am trying to put new door glass in my '35 three window coupe. The doors came stripped, no regulators, just bare shells so I am installing new everything. I found a good pair of regulators and installed them. Here's my latest problem. I have installed the two side tracks that I got from Bob Drake. These are the fuzzy lined channels that go on the front and the back of the opening for the glass to slide through. They hook into the slots on the door. They are nice and tight to the door. But the metal channel that the glass sits in is too long. The glass fits in it ok and sticks out beyond the channel 1 1/2" on each end. But the metal channel hits the two side channel pieces. The bottom channel is also from Drake and has a label on it that says it is for a '35/'36 tudor or three window. But it is too long by about 3/4" of an inch. I'm tempted to cut it down but I know that is not right. What I am I doing wrong? Thanks.
