The new door glass ready for installation. The three circular fasteners have 1/4" studs that mount it to the regulator and there is a bit of play in the placement of these studs. I used an extra regulator to align the studs before tightening them to the new glass.

After media blasting and some industrial grade rattle can paint. I baked the parts in a small toaster/convection oven for about 2 hours at 250-300 degrees; really hardened the paint.

I bought some fabric from Ames Performance to restore these door glass guides. After stripping and painting, I used 3M adhesive to glue the new fabric strips in place. Two #8 stainless screws and they were ready for service.

This is my next window guide project. These are the inside, glass guides and the fuzzy material has dry rotted. I found replacement fabric on the Ames Performance website.

The stock fitting from the old lines is on the left: it has a short shoulder w/o threads. The new line fitting is on the right and does not have the shoulder.

The Ames material comes as a single, large strip which has to be cut down to the width of the rubbing blocks. There is enough material to recover 8 rubbing blocks. The excess fabric beyond the adhesive strip needs to be trimmed during installation.

After pulling the material tightly around the rubbing block, I trimmed the excess from the other side before pressing into place.

These are made by DEI and are parts #524T. DEI is the same company that makes the "one-touch" window control modules I added.
