I'm trying to figure out how to install the side window run channels (the
U-shaped pieces that are installed on the inside perimeter of the doors that
the window glass is enclosed by). The run channels that I ordered are just
one long length. I would like to know the best way to install this channel,
especially around the curves of the door frame at the top of the doors. Do you
have to cut this channel into separate pieces and how is the best way to
attach the run to the inside of the door window opening? Glue,small screws?
I'm in the process of converting my 53's 2 piece windows to one piece. I
ordered the 1 piece side window kit from "Vintage Glass" .I am installing this
glass without the metal frames. I've got the window run guides installed
inside the front of the doors, and the one piece side glass seems to fit
nicely into the run guides. (I installed the U shaped run channels inside the
run guides to check for proper fit)
Does anyone have any tips on the best way to install the run channel onto
the door frame?
Thanks,
