Door Assembly Questions

[rockable]

2 Questions.

Can someone one point me to some detailed pictures of the glass run and fuzzy channels installed on a business coupe with vent windows? I need to see how they are supposed to look.

Do the wheels on the door glass actually roll? I installed a well lubed NOS door glass channel assembly without glass and the wheels just slide in the track. I have a box full of "flat spotted" wheels which leads me to belive this is just a crappy design. 

 

Thanks for your help.

first question is for what year and car because there are different channels.

Ouch. 1941 Plymouth P12 Special business coupe. My bad.

No one knows if the wheels actually turn?

The wheels actually turn. Mine do. They wouldn't be round if they weren't supposed to turn.

Don't know if this will help you, but this video shows the assembly of the window mechanism and glass channels:

RayLLoyd,

Great Video. I wish I saw this two weeks ago when I did my front windows. L.O.L. I just did my two front windows and Vents. I happened upon the Adjusting nut and corrected my driver's side window to go up straight to receive the Vent Window properly. I wish he showed the snap clips, and then the snap clip installization portion of (installing the wheels on the regulator arms) a little clearer for the novices/guys that have never been inside a front door before. It took me 7 hours to do my drivers side. Then on the passengers side just an hour and a half. As you can tell I went super slow as not to break anything. One thing I did to prevent scratching the glass was to put Masking Tape on it (both sides) before installing, then removed it once I knew I couldn't scratch the glass up during the install. Thanks again. Geat Video.
