Re: Replacing the Window Glass Runway

Since all the windows need channel replacement I decided to wait until I have the time to do them all at once. Seems like a good January-February project when the car is little used.

I went ahead and installed the new window after re-securing the existing thread-bare channel and gluing a short strip of felt over the screw head followed by a long strip covering the short strip and running about half-way up the channel. The window works well and fits snugly in the track. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the replacement glass wasn't all that expensive ($46.88 including tax and labor for the new safety glass cut to match the old window and installed in the old lifter channel with new rubber gasket material).

Guys, thanks for your input.
