So, I'm struggling here. I've read a bunch of threads and watched videos and I'm having issues that I just need some direction/assistance on.
66 Coupe, was apart when I bought car. Have new regulators,new weatherstrip, new rear guides, new front guides, new rollers.
Here was the process I was following for the moment. I do not have a manual that tells me the glass alignment process.
1. Set Rear Quarter window and adjust for proper seating into weatherstrip. Confirm window up/down, set stops.
2. Install Front Vent window, leaving loose.
3. Install Door glass.
4. Adjust vent window with two top bolts for alignment to pillar. use top in/out adjuster to align vent window.
NOW I'M STUCK DUE TO THE BINDING/Misalignment
Passenger Side- I have it "Aligned" pretty well. But, when you roll the window all the way up to seat on the weatherstrip properly. The rear lower corner of the window will bind in the rear guide track, and you CANNOT roll the window back down without unbolting the vent window allowing it rotate free. Otherwise it will tear the felt in the tear track. (Don't ask me how I know).
Drivers Door-
Same Process, but the window is not rolling up square to the car. So, I cannot even get it aligned to look right. The rear portion of the window is tilted a significant amount higher than the front. I can Rock the window by grabbing it, but as soon as you touch the handle, it cocks in the frame immediately. The drivers door will do the exact same thing as the passenger, where it will bind if you roll it all the way up to seat at the weatherstrip. You again, cannot get the window down without unbolting the vent window loose or will tear the felt in the rear guide.
