beyond frustrated- i am going to have to source a replacement assembly with a good adjuster- anyone have one send my way cheap or free??

spent the better part of the last 4 hours trying to get the doors done. unable to complete because the drivers door bottom adjuster nut that is attached to the front track that also holds the triangle window was rusted bad and snapped off- second was , before that happened being unable to get triangle glass seal in(too long) and down enough so could not get door to shut.

pulled it all back out and now i cant decide how to proceed!

To be honest this one had me swearing quite a bit too. The window in the front does tuck underneath however the back needs to rotate down so as long as the base of the seal is fully engaged into the door it should be a matter of the center of the track coming back just a little.
In other words adjustment for and aft

I may just put the windows, frames and seals in my trunk and bring them to Okeenerfest , Matt, maybe you can use my car as the sample for installation.
I have less than a month to try and get my gas tank, motor and whole interior including the sail vinyl etc all installed!! and I don't think this window stuff is going to get done. If the car runs and drives at least I can bring it, it might be with out windows.

Happy to help. I am guessing that there may be a little adjustment left on the upper bolt on your rail. It is definitely a tight fit when they are new. I want to try and figure out exactly what your experiencing so I can try and address it in a final version of an installation video. I already have a few notes on things that I need to add to it. I appreciate anyone else's feedback too.

See you at Okteenerfest

I know we need a tight fit to not allow water past the seal, so I know it hst to be snug. The fore /aft adjustment is minmal, not much room for adjustment at all on the upper small bolt. The lower can shift a bit which will cause a counter-effect on the upper end, and if you move that lower bolt down/back the pivot will move upper forward and the leading edge of triange slightly down, which I did do and that did help, in fact it was almost a perfect fit at that point- with out the window though lol!!
I am going to keep coming back to it but not until I get the motor in and car running, at that point I hope to have enough time to revisit this. Also I know these cars do vary a good bit due to the nature of manufacturing back in the day, so I am fully aware there will be differences in fit and finish from car to car.
