Does anyone know what this distance (red arrow) should be? I guess it could be based on the fit in the door. Not sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Just wanted to verify this before the weekend fun begins. TIA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It isn’t really critical as I remember because the glass rides fore and aft on rollers in the bar. What you have looks good.

Also, unless you are running air conditioning you probably don’t need the glass.

Looks like 4” (actually 3-15/16" if you wanna be technical), I checked both ..they were the same.

Thanks!

I needed this measurement too...

Thought I had a bad regulator or rollers in my 75.

Nope, everything was fine, glass pulled out of the channel.

Anyone know what glue you should use to re-install?

I'll probably go with urethane windshield sealant.
