Re: [FWDLK] Window Channel Fuzzies

[Lou <email4lou@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the same problem...it seems that the channel is just too narrow
for the glass compared to the original.

I experimented with widening the whole thing by using a wedge shaped
block of wood and a mallet to widen the track and the channel (laid the
entire vent window assembly on a work bench)   It made the thing a
SMIDGE wider (measurment in the 100th's of an inch I am sure).

It helped---marginally.  I'm still not happy with it: the glass only
goes part way into the channel-- I adjusted the rear channel  to allow
the window to be a little further to the rear of the door.  It all needs
to be fixed in a much better fashion.
