Re: 2126 door window installation.

On my car the window channels are all one welded and riveted assembly and glass goes in or comes out as shown in the body section.https://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/servicemanual4650/Section4.pdf

When I disassembled mine for rechroming the vertical pieces of the vent window side, I replaced everything spot welded with screws and/or poprivets. Took care to drill or cut thru welds to leave enough to bolt back thru. Fastening the new fuzzy channel end back onto the riveted on vent window tab was a bit of a trick due to the tight space. I believe I installed the pop rivets thru the channel and tab, head buried in the fuzzy, and then cut off and flattened the extended part of the rivet that extended out the top so it could clear the door metal. Screws and nuts at other spots needed to be kept short due to very little clearance in getting the assy to slide back thru the window slot in the door.
