37 tudor. Car came to me with both quarter windows inoperable. I've determined that the regulators are correct and operating properly. I believe the problem is that on both windows, the bottom window channel, the piece that binds to the glass which the regulator's rollers slide in, have been replaced some time in the past but not located properly on the glass. This channel does not go the full width of the glass; when originally assembled they probably used a fixture or jig to locate it on the glass. There is only about a 1/2 inch adjustment in the regulator mounting, so this channel has to be on the glass in the correct location. So my question is, is there a drawing somewhere that tells exactly where along the bottom of the glass the channel should be located? Or any other idea on how I can locate them properly?

If you find any drawings, please let me know. Meantime, the attached pics are from my 37 Tudor driver's side window. They should help. If you need more, just let me know. Gregg I tried in vain to attach the pics. Not sure what is causing this. You can send me a message so I can send you the pics. gregg

Gregg Thank you for taking the time to take those pictures for me. I appreciate it. But my problem is with the rear quarter windows, which have a different regulator and bottom glass channel. Do you think you would be able to get good pics like that of one of your rear windows? That would really help me. Thanks. Jay

Jay, oh, duh. I should have read your posting closer. Let me try to replicate the same for the rear quarters. It's my son's car and I don't recall if those windows are there. More tomorrow.... gregg

Boo, I failed you. One window is completely gone. I tried lowering the other window and it was stuck. After forcing it up and down just bit, the window came out of the channel. My guess is that it was in wrong. So, no pics or dimensions, sorry. If you do happen to find information on this, I would appreciate a copy. I won't be working on this car for at least another 6 months, at which time I will need to properly locate the glass in the channel. gregg

It's actually pretty straightforward. The channel at the bottom of the glass must clear the vertical runs throughout the travel of the window, up and down. If you measure from the inside of the runs, run to run, (several places to ensure a good consistent measurement) and subtract the depth of the runs you'll know where to locate the horizontal channel on the bottom of the glass.
