This is for the beginners or someone that hasn't ever taken out or replaced a 1/4 window before. The above pictures were taken of my
1/4 window before I took it out. Im glad I took the picture as it helped when re-installing it. I also took a picture of it all laid out
on the bench so I could see how it worked from the inside. A good idea is to mask off your chrome frames, also the outside of
your window, on the body, better safe than sorry. After getting to the point of "its not working", I had to quit working on the 1/4 widow, all I had left to do is install the crank part, but it just wasn't wanting to fit.
After looking at it in the morning, I decided to take it all apart and start over. I decided to leave the window in the opening
at the bottom of the access hole, towards the outside of the car, its not in the way there. First I put in the cranking mechanism, then the rear channel that goes up to the top of the window and screws into side of access hole, then hooked up the crank arm roller into the round curved piece and then screwed it into the window channel part. Last I installed the long double channel into the access hole from the bottom, making sure that both rollers were in the channel, I put in the bottom screw to hold it in place, then installed top two adjusting screws, bolts at the top. Don't forget the upper rubber stop. I've also had to take the upper window channel out again, and
re-do the channel felt, I found that using the thin window channel lining will not allow you to have the chrome
frame up and
secure in the channel, making it unadjustable with the adjusting 2 screws, its best to have the right size channel fuzzy, I ordered
1" by 1/2 " this should be wide enough for the chrome to go up into it and be held tight. Also this is a great time to install the outside
belt line chrome fuzzy strip, and new clips to hold it in place, or use small screws, we used clips but they are really hard to clip in.
Got the carpet and set it out in the sun for a couple hrs, it did help it relax. I had to set it in the car, just couldn't wait to see it .
