I need help getting my 1/4 window glass, tracks and regulator in to a car that I did not take apart.
1. I would like to know how the 1/4 glass attaches to the lower frame. It looks like the lower frame holes are threaded for 1/4" x 20 bolts, but the holes in the glass are much larger than that. The service and parts manuals are no help. Pictures would be great.
2. Anyone know of tutorials that spell out the process of reinstalling all of the window tracks, regulator, etc. and the order they should go in?
 
IIRC, there's a rubber bushing that goes into the hole in the glass. There should also be a rubber or cardboard washer that goes against the glass under the retainer bolt/washer. I don't have that model to take a photo. Maybe someone here does. You might also go to Faxon manuals to get a reproduction factory assembly manual. On most models, I like to install the vertical guides first, then the regulator and lower glass track. Carefully slide the glass down from the top and bolt it to the lower track. You may have to adjust the regulator to line glass holes up with the holes in the body panel for your tools. Adjust everything so the glass seals everywhere. Lastly, install the cat whiskers.
 
did get short pieces of what looks like vacuum hose as well as the fiber gaskets with the 1/4 window roller kit I purchased. I guess it squeezes out to fill the hole. Much apprciated, thanks!!
