Hi All: I was driving home from a shop yesterday and my window would not go down. As it turns out the bottom screws at the rear rail had come loose, one is now gone, and the glass pulled out of the lower lifting rail.
I tried pushing the glass into the track while it's in the door, but that does not seem to be the answer. Haynes is pretty weak on any details. I just watched one of Ians videos but he didn't show this step Any input will be appreciated! |

Take the inside door card off and look. The window may have come out of the rollers since the rear guide moved. If not the window is glued into the lifting block with some type of really strong stuff. That’s all I know hope it helps and is correct.

depends on the year of the window glass Rob. Your 74 has only a track at the bottom and the rest of the glass is naked. It slides up in down in felt channels. We glue the bottom brace back onto the glass with 3m window weld sealant

Yup, It pulled out of the bottom lift bar. I've ordered a few parts and will get it back together next week. The top screw on the rear channel was missing completely, and one of the lowers was also gone. Glad it made it through the vintage racing week and Put in Bay!

All: I'm having a tough time locating the part number for the rubber insert in the lower lifting arm. I don't see it on the PET. The rubber is in pretty bad shape and at some point someone used a very sticky rubber like caulk to hold the glass in. Our local guru told me this should go in dry with a new rubber.
Any insights? |

The lower part was part of the window. So finding a replacement may be as easy as getting a window. Epoxy is the best way to attach it to glass. JB Weld works for almost anything. Check the bottom of the door you may get lucky
