Re: 1940 front door window mechanism

Thanks, West. I talked to Jim about it and my friend Vaughn, who came by last night and took a look.
He thinks there's a bushing of some kind that rides in the big hole in the primary arm.
The screw hole in the secondary arm is for a screw to hold the bushing in place, perhaps with a washer, too, allowing the arms to move with a scissor action.
I just don't know what I'm looking for. Jim thinks the other hole in the secondary arm, the slotted hole, is for a second screw and the slot allows for adjustment to keep the window from binding.Almost every hole in the door is slotted for that purpose, so I think that's right.
This is a real roadblock at this point. I'll have to take the front doors to the upholsterer so they can cover the door panels without windows and take them back to attached the door panels after I get the windows in.
