Glass channel run Lower

[Conn47D24]

Help please with this topic.

These are the lower channels in the front door.

Question,  do I install the fuzzy "U" channel in these?

Take a really close look at the channel.  If I remember correctly when doing mine on '49 Plymouth the channel that holds the fuzzy channel has no rolled edges at the open side.  Looks to me that you have rolled edges showing.  I think these are the remains of the original fuzzy guide without any of the original fuzzy in it.  The original fuzzy channels were riveted to the outer channel about an inch or two from the bottom, from the top and somewhere towards the center of the run.  I pried the remains of the fuzzy channel from the bottom, bent it back and forth to free it from the bottom rivet, then pried some more channel out and bent it back and forth to free it from the center rivet and so on until all the original fuzzy channel was removed.  If I remember correctly the width of the outer bottom part of the new fuzzy was 9/16 inch.  If what you are looking at has a rolled edge and is not wide enough to accept a  9/16 wide fuzzy channel  you probably have the remains of the original fuzzy channel  still in the guide channel.     Regards

I'll measure these against the new channels tomorrow. 

 

I finally found another thread that explains it well.

The rollers ride on the top edges if these lower channels.  The interior with the soft material is where the glass travels.

My understanding, at least on the cars here in oz & I would think the original US mades cars is that the "fuzzy" channel goes on the side channel rising up the side and over the top towards the front 1/4 window......the single "fuzzy" fits along the horizontal edge of the window opening on the outside on the body and on the inside attached to the window garnish molding.........the window glass is attached or held into the moveable window channel using a piece of glass setting rubber which holds the glass to the metal channel...........some of these setting rubbers also have a "lip" that fits against the body edge when the glass is fully raised to help seal the outer side against the body and stop the entry of water............andyd

Andydodge....you are correct and there is another guide channel inside the door that guides and holds the front edge of the window when the window is in the down position.  It goes in line with the back edge of the quarter window vertical frame and down into the door about 14 to 16 inches.  this is the channel I was referring to in my previous post and the one that had the remains of the original fuzzy channel with no fuzzy left on it.
