Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
  8. EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

    http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

    Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

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.

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.

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,
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....

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.

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.
