Slant window puzzle
Ok guys I rarely get stumped but i am am now and I need your help.
How in the hell do you get the front door windows in with the felt and regulator? Now the problem may lie in parts, I have new glass from Bratton's new felt and lower channel ( the channel sucks) I can get the glass and regulator hooked up without the felt but no way can I get the glass in if the felt is installed. If anyone would like to call me my cell is 973-725-5369 Thanks in advance and have a great 4th |

Re: Slant window puzzle
Go to www.ocmafc.org. It will pull up a web site. On the menu at left click on tech articles. There is an article on installing door windows on a Victoria, which is similar to slant window sedans. Go to "Tom Endy's topics" the article is titled "window channeling".

Re: Slant window puzzle
Hi, this winter I restored my slant town sedan. Had the same problem, I believe the new felt window channels are thicker than the originals.
What I had to do to ALL 6 side window glass was to trim 1/8" off one side to fit them (done by a local glass shop). They roll up and down smoothly don't rattle and don"t leak and no wind noise. Herb Neumann |

Re: Slant window puzzle
And the solution was....... have a local glass shop trim 3/16 off one side and they fit great. Walt Bratton said he will credit me the charge of the glass shop, like 22.00
