Everything I have new. The channels are in the car. I have the side panels, regulators and new weather stripping. I did the front doors with not much trouble but the rears have no removable top to slide the glass down. Does the weather strip slide in after the glass?
I'm pretty new to the forum and would like to Thank All for any answers.

You have to keep the panel loose while holding the glass in place and at the same time insert the channels between the glass and window frame. You don't need to secure the channels until you have it all in place. Then go to each channel and hook up the bottom first and slide each channel up to the top slot and then down to lock the top. Then secure the bottom tab. This is of course all done at the same time along with holding and securing the riser in place.

I think Ford had a few octopuses on his payroll. I use my knees to hold the glass up while I get everything in place. Another pair of hands will help and cut down the amount of cussing.
 
Joes31, I can't ThankYou enough. I did finally figure it out! I noticed the new felt channels were different on the ends. I got the bottom secure and into the metal channel and pulled them apart far enough at the top to slide the glass down. Thanks again it was all in pieces when i got it. :)
