Misaligned Side Glass? - 1967 B Body

Misaligned Side Glass? - 1967 B Body - 10/24/16 10:25 PM

Just finished replacing all the weatherstripping on my '67 Satellite and I noticed the front to rear side glass (glass channel weatherstripping) gaps from bottom to top change, and top gap is actually wider than what will seal.

The rear glass is not smooth in operation, so I am wondering if something is messed up resulting in the back quarter glass needing to be tilted forward?

I honestly can't remember if this was a problem before the paint work, and I am not certain if the glass was removed (Believe the vent window was removed to replace that weatherstripping)

I know nothing about the regulators (where to even lube them to help in operation) so any guidance needs to be dumbed down haha. The interior is not in the car so I have full access

Thx

I was able to adjust mine really nicely a few years ago after getting real tired of them rattling around when the door shut..

I don't recall exactly what I did... but... I had the FSM and referred to the instructions about where to make adjustments. Took the door panels off obviously, and made adjustments at the guiderails and the "glass carrier" thingy....

Sorry this is not the specific help you need, but get an FSM and you should be all set.. eh? wink

The flat spring will develop friction inside and make the rolling up the window difficult. I used motorcycle chain lube on mine. The inside of the channels can be lubed along with the pivots and rollers. Assuming your front window/vent is gapped correctly at the front the solution to your problem will be adjusting the rear glass.

Thx for the replies. I ordered a FSM to help me with this.

I took the attached last night - I think the front side glass is off (body guy did have the vent glass frames out).

Watched a video on YouTube for adjusting all (3) on a old Stang and I assume the Mopar procedure will be very similar.
