installing door glass
I'm about to install the wind up glass in the doors of my 48. Any tips on the best way to get the glass in?
I could try different ways by "trial and error" but why risk scratching the pane when you can ask the experts and do it right first time. I couldn't do that 25 years when I restored my last car. The problem is with old age comes "Craft disease" ( can't remember a F...n thing") so I can't remember how it I did the job last time. Any help appreciated. thanks GB

Re: installing door glass
You do, of course, have the inside window frames and inside door panels removed? Then, for the front windows, loosen the channel between the window and the vent window and slide it forward enough to get the main roll up window in. Attach it to the raising mechanism then slide the channel back in place and secure. That's how I do it. Others may have other ideas.
