The solenoid is not faint, quite loud, do wondering if I have the holding solenoid and engage solenoids reversed. Just don’t recall it being that loud before. Thanks for the response.
I suppose it could just be after rebuilding the entire front end and engine, may just have the adjustment to close. I don’t like the way the throttle kick down pawl hits the switch, at quite an angle, not flat, and don’t see how to change that angle

Quick question, lots of work on preservation and something new? IF I push the gas pedal all the way down while setting the choke, I now hear the OD solenoid click. Don’t recall this in past and wondering if I have the two coil windings reversed. Suggestions or is this correct?

Awesome information, thank you!
One final question, is the front edge of the arm rest “base” vertical and does not go all the way to the floor?

Interesting, I think I like the curve in the arm rest. Did you do this?
Appreciate the information, really trying to figure out what is under Thai / how it is built and attached to car

1939 Packard Six, rear seat arm rests

Renovating the interior of my 39 Six, working on rear panels below the push out windows and the arm rests. Who ever worked don this last, "fabricated" the arm rests out of plywood for the top, poorly formed cardboard for the sides and used right angle shelf brackets to hold it to the inner fender wells. Photo show what I am referring to. Anyone have pics, sketches or photos of what this is supposed to look like?

Thanks Chris and Happy New Year!
I took out the channel and the chrome trimmed cat whiskers. Was surprised to see those tiny Philips head screws you are referring to, thought it was a "band aid" fix from whomever installed the u-channel. The channel had broken on the left side, just below the frame opening, or at least so I thought. Upon pulling out the channel where the regulator resides, inside the door frame, I realized the top and bottom were different sizes, someone had switched out the top. Already had the parts from Steele, so installed the trim and whiskers, installed the channel, put my freshly made and covered door panels on and slipped the window trim bezel into place. That's when I noticed the channel was not tucking in at the same plane as the whiskers and hence the trim bezel won't mount up. I'll take another look in the AM, need to make this work and got a laundry list of stuff to get done before honoring my youngest daughters desire to be driven in this car to her wedding. I'll email you some pics in progress, finished the carpet several weeks ago. Challenge there was the laminated tar paper on the inside was falling apart, I removed the chunks and any loose material, fiber glassed the front and back of it and covered the visible part in heavy black denim. Turned out great

I am renovating the worn out window channel and cat whisker trim on my 39 Six as I am reupholstering the door panels.
Putting the first one back together and noticed the channel is not tucking up "behind' the whiskers and as a result, is proud of where it should be by over 1/8" which prohibits installation of the window garnish trim Anyone experience this before or can point me in the right direction? Unfortunately, this car has had some of the channel replaced in the past. The channel within the door is the same size of the stuff I bought from Steele rubber. The channel that goes around the top of the window was replaced at one time with some that is about 1/8" shorter, hence "fits". it should all be one size

Rear bench hold downs

Looking for information, ideally the parts, or photos of what holds the rear bench seat down in my 1939 Packard Six. Previous owner used parts of a conduit clamp. There are two places just below the seat where something was, but no idea what. Looks like it goes into the ~1" diameter holes in the bottom of the seat frame. Any assistance is greatly appreciated
