    I can see right now that I am going to have to hire someone to install my windows, runners, and felt tracks! I am way too picky I guess. Have had my 56 for over 50 years, and I have had to glue, patch and jury rig way too many times. This time it's going to be done by the book. ;) Not a show car but it is my car. You have good skills and work hard. Enjoyed watching you work.

    Yeah trimming and whether strips and felt can be a pain in places where you would expect to be tighter and have extra material 😅😮❤

    Tri5s look strange without the glass in. As soo as all the glass goes back in it transforms them. Great feat to do the screens on your own. I had to get some to help me with my front screen. The weather strip kit I got was all straight and I had to make all the bends myself but I was lucky and didnt get any separation like you did.

      I think straight felts would be preferable if I were to do it again.

    1st time I’ve seen anyone bed the glass in this way. I can't believe both pieces of door glass Fully bedded into the horizontal rubber / metal U-cannel that easily. Seems to me “easy in” means “easy out”. Most folks I've seen install the rubber & U channel onto the glass on a bench using a rubber hammer w/ a fair amount of force. I've assembled it on the bench & even pinched the metal U-channel with pliers to make a tighter fit on the front glass & it still pulls out after installation. The urethane is the only trick in my opinion that would keep this glass from pulling back out. The 4- door sedan I’m working on does not belong to me but the glass is dragging too much & pulling out. I suspect the non- original rough-cut glass may be too big. I may try the urethane trick as well.
