Technical Door glass installation problems

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by spillaneswillys, Apr 11, 2020.

  1. I am finishing up the 51 Dodge truck and have run into several problems. The regulator has slight bends in but I have been able to straighten it out (mostly). Also the inside metal on the door also is somewhat out of shape. That being said on a dry tun the glass runs out of the weatherseal and also gets really tight. I try to use the adjuster screw but can find no happy medium as the track will kick one way or the other. Not sure where to go from here. Any tips would be appreciated. I really don't want to go the power route. truckfront.jpg

    Are you sure the bends are not factory stampings? love the stash.
     
  3. No the regulator was bent up.I have another one but the mounting studs are rusted away and the metal it is mounted on has the old some kind of pressed rivet. I am just out of ideas.

  4. I might have to experiment with shimming the regulator where it mounts.
