Any one have issues with the AMD door glass? 1972 Duster. Previous owner had shop install and windows did not shut right, too much gap at the front. I somehow managed to get the drivers to align really well. I've been fighting the passenger side for two nights now. I think I've got it as good as can be but the glass seems not wide enough. I have it toward the front of the car as close where it barely hits the weathers stripping, but the rear barely hit the wether stripping towards the back. Seems window is not exactly the right size. I also noticed the holes for the up stops, are too far up not allowing the window to go up and seal if I put the stops in. there is very limited wear and no broken slide squares/rollers, this is a 28k original mileage car. Just wondering if there were issue with some of the AMD product in the past.

I have heard it depends on the car. Some fit really well & others not so much? I guess the same goes for some of their sheet metal also. But at least it gives us all a great starting point. None of us would be saving these cars if it wasn't for companies like AMD and many others trying their best to recreate these parts.

I put a drivers window in my 71 Charger and fit was perfect, I also compared them before the install though.

Can't speak for your situation,and if you don't have an original glass to compare to, who knows. But that said, I have installed lots of AMD glass with no issues.
There are a ton of adjustments on door glass. Make sure you are familiar with all the adjustments. One piece glass like a Duster, being wedge shaped, can appear too short if it isn't up enough.

It seems to be maxed out, and that's with the stop pegs removed.
