Re: Driver's door window removal

There were a couple of service bulletins re glass breakage. IIRC, one on the V8s has to do with a weld on the rear runner channel breaking and letting the channel move sideways so the glass hits the regulator. The other which only affected the hydraulic window models was the regulator top being able to move and strike the glass . The way the long non hydraulic arms are supported at the regulator end and the inner door panels having sort of an oil can bottom action at times, conceivably those arms could also move and strike the glass when the door is slammed. The padding sounds like a possible option for that possibility. There is another specifically for 41-50 Clipper based bodies re loose channels on the bottom, rivets extending thru the felt channel, bent tie bar between the two channels and something about clips.

One other possibility on some models is with the retainer or screws that holds the arm rest and door panel securely attached to the door metal inner panel. If the clip leg that slips over the slot in the panel is bent out it can conceivably extend far enough the glass could strike it if there is any movement -- as it could too long a screw holding the arm rest.
