I had a similar problem. I replaced glass in both doors. It was the first time I had done this. It sounded simple. I don't know if I purchased the wrong thickness setting tape, but it was extremely difficult getting the new glass into the channel. I successfully completed the install. The next day I took the truck on a 60 mile drive. It was warm out and I drove with the window down. When I arrived I rolled up the windows. The new glass on one side had a crack all the way across the window. I have no doubt the cause of the crack was me. I am sure I stress the glass too much while I installed it. I probably damaged the edge and the vibration from the drive expanded the crack. Have you ever seen a small crack in a windshield and pressed your finger against it only to see the crack expand? I have not replaced the glass yet but when I do I will be getting the replacement glass from classicparts.com. They have the option to buy the glass with the bottom channel already installed. As far as I am concerned it is worth the extra money.
