This was the reply to the email I sent today.

Has anyone had an issue with a 34 glass channel being too long? I've got the Bob Drake kit installed with the really deep door channels front and rear and it appears that the glass channel is just too long. So long in fact that I can't roll up the window fully.

If you are talking about the metal glass channel they are most definitely too long! That same part can be used for front and rear 34 sedan and rear 35 to 40. Get the V8 Ford Club 34 book and it has the sizes you can use for reference.
PS. I also found that the post and lock screw for moving the window back is not right also.

Thanks very much for the reply. I've been doing a lot of experimentation with the screw position, not that much success. Someone posted a stock window and channel with dimensions for the 5w. Mine were the same, but I had to cut them down, so it must be that the aftermarket window channel kit (door parts) don't match stock.thanks for the links, I'll get busy and read them.

Reread this post and as a thought, we have been using the fuzzy side of bulk glue on Velcro for the horizontal strips that stop the glass from rattling side to side.
