I am putting the door glass back in my '42 Convertible and am having problems. The door glass has a stainless steel frame. I installed the glass anti-rattle runners (the fuzzys) that I got from Vintique. Problem is that the 1/2" stainless frame gets locked up in the fuzzys and the window will not move.



Has anyone had experience with this situation?

Everyone that got the parts from Vintique.
 
For my 48, I got some from Restoration Specialties in PA. Was quite some time ago, but when I was looking for them they told me the sedan ones are different and don't work. Perhaps that is your problem
 
Thanks, Paul and Kube:


Still "no luck" on window channels. Checked with Resto Spec., only parts for '59 and up convertibles.



Any ideas? If I cut apart the Vintique, I still have nothing. Originals look NOTHING like I have been able to find.

Can you post a good photo or two of what you would like?
The Vintique kit no doubt included a generic piece for glass without the metal frame.
