Someone pleaes tell me how to install the door glass and the felt in a 29 Fordor. The only thing I have in the doors in a metal channel at the lower part of the doors. What am I missing? Do the felt channels glue in? If so where at the upper part of the door? Thanks for any help. I am about to pull out my hair, but I'm already bald.

I couldn't find out that information when I put the glass in a 30 fordor. So I installed felt (front & rear)and glass as a unit using construction adhesive. Felt runs from top of the door to bottom of the glass when lowered. It may not be the same procedure Henry used but they have been working fine for about 6 years.

Thanks so much for your reply and advice. It seems that information on any year Fordor is very scarse to find. I think it must be that before our time fordors weren't messed with. Just roadster, coupes and tudors. Most Modelers wouldn't touch one because of the wood involved.
