1939 Ford Tudor quarter window

Does anyone have or can take a picture of the opening in the interior where the regulator stop screw is in view. I had someone put my windows in and the regulator pin comes out of the channel. I know the stop screw SHOULD be accessible through that hole.

My project came with no windows so we couldn't get measurements for placement of the lift/channel on the glass. I'm not sure how critical that placement is but I know where it is now isn't right.

Maybe a measurement from the forward edge of the glass to to the stop mounting hole.

The picture shows my current setup. The channel is in view in through hole. The black dot shows where the stop screw is currently positioned. It's shadow is just visible through the hole.

Where the channel is attached to the glass is very critical. If not correct, the glass will bind closed before the regulator gets to the point in it's travel where it transitions from up-down to horizontal sliding. And there is only +/- 1/2 inch adjustment on the regulator mount when you have it all is back together.

I don't know the dimension you need. Few years ago when I was working on my '37, someone was able to send a drawing with the needed dimension. I think there are drawings out there. Hopefully someone has access to them.
 
I have these 2 pics I was given previously from another site. The one with 2 windows and measurement annotations is driver side front. It helped for the front. The other, with tape measure, I was told was an original window from a 39 Tudor. I will try that.

I would hate to ruin the lift/channel by cutting them incorrectly. I bought the lifts as NOS. I was told they would have ti be trimmed.

I don't know if they changed the design by 1939.
However, for 36, if you are looking to have the regulator stop where the arms do not come out of the channel, then the stop screw (at least in my 36 Ford Coupe regulator) is "on" one of the gears which will stop it from going around more than once.
The hole in the door should be visible to the gear and you should see a screw hole.
The window has to be cranked up 1/3 or 1/2 way,
I would not think the stop screw is in the channel as breakage possibibility.
 
The stop screw is in the channel on the 1939 lift/carrier. You can see the screw in place on the left side of the picture.

My understanding is with the window partially down the hole for that screw is accessible through the hole in the side panel so the screw stop can be inserted. The screw is out to put the window in and then screwed in to act as the stop.

The QUARTER window shared the same basic engineering and vent feature (with different lengths of channel and some differences in regulators 1934-48. Cars with window vents door bottom channels (and regulator engineering) were grouped 1934, 1935-36, 1937-39, (1935-37 Commercial).

That is pretty much what the guy told me that sold me the channels.
