Tudor 1/4 panel window removal question

700rpm

Well-known member
Can someone point me to a site that describes how to remove the 1/4 windows from a 29 Tudor? Or can someone describe the process here?

Thank you.
 
Remove handle, cushion, garnish moldings, upholstery panel, screws from the ends of the metal panel, pull the end channels in and crank up the glass. Removing screws from regulator helps.
 
First, you will have to remove the screws that attach the inner quarter panel assembly to the body. The inner quarter panel assembly is the large stamped sheet metal piece that the window regulator attaches to. Removing the screws (4 along the front edge and 3 along the rear edge) will allow you to tilt the panel inward, towards the center of the car. If you have already attached the felt channels to the body, then take them back loose at the top so that you can install the glass. Next insert the glass (with the metal channel already installed on the bottom of the glass) into the correct area and work the felt channels onto the edges of the glass. Then tilt the glass, with the felt channels, into the upright position and lower the glass to the bottom. You may have to insert a temporary wood block to the support the glass while you align the glass and felt channels and reattach the top ends of the felt channels to the body. Once you have the glass and felt channels installed, raise the glass to the upper position and support it with a larger wood block, like a 2x4 cut to length. Next insert the knob on the end of the regulator arm into the slot in the metal channel on the bottom of the glass. Then adjust the regulator to where it will line up with the holes in the inner quarter panel assembly and reattach all of the screws in the regulator and quarter panel.

Thanks Don. I was afraid it was something like that when I removed the upholstery panel. Well, that's what they make weekends for, I guess.
