Quarter window adjustment help, I can't get it lined up.

"...I'm planning on installing the door window and vent window as an assembly."

Don't know that this will work very well. It's work enough just getting the wing vent frame in by itself, let alone with a full window anging off the back. I dunno, maybe you are on to something? :edgy:

That is the best way to do it. Make sure to do the following to mitigate damage to your parts:

1) Find something to spread the door opening so the vent window frame does not chip the paint.

2) Cover the glass in something to protect it. I like to use 2" 3M blue painter's tape.

3) Make sure the plastic rivet that holds the door glass to the regulator will work properly. Most of the aftermarket ones I have seen need the center pin shaved/sanded down.

4) If you can find a second person to help hold the glass while you position the vent frame into the door.

Hopefully this helps the install...

Thanks for the tips Jeremiah. I'm also going to be taping the tops of my doors so I don't ding the paint there. My original factory plastic rivets were still good so no problems there and I'll definitely not attempt this without another set of hands.

Just wondering if anybody was able to verify the roof rail weatherstrip question on whether the thicker side goes inboard or outboard.

The thick side is towards the interior!The glass seats into a small channel.

Thanks Steve, so it looks like I've got my weatherstrips in the right side.
