The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Installing AD side window felts and seals

I am replacing the window felts and rubber seals on my 1947 AD. I understand how to put the inside felt on (using either the staples (supplied) or small sheet metal screws (as mentioned in posts found on a search). I have a few questions that I hope some of you might be able to answer. First: the shop manual states that there are 3 screws holding the window channel to the door (I'm also going to replace the channel as well) I cannot see or feel any screws. I assume the channels are pressed in or attached with some kind of adhesive? Second: How does the outer rubber attach to the outside edge of the window opening? The kit supplied metal rectangular clips with an offset bend in them. There are also two pointed 'teeth' punched and bent out from the clip. The clips are 1 1/4 " by 1/2". Pic 1 Pic 2 The top part of the rubber is sloped which I assume is positioned so that the high side is against the glass and the low side is oriented to the outside of the door. There isn't much left on my window openings to get any sort of reference. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The three screws hold the rear channel guide to the door as shown, the front guide is welded into place.

Thanks, Brad. I got the retainer off. Is the front one (the one that's welded) the same length? On my truck it looks like this one has been broken it is only about 8 inches long. I have a feeling that the clips might be for the channel. I thought the rubber used the clips. I'm also changing my thinking about how the outside rubber fits. I thought the small part of the 'T' would be against the window but now thinking that the 'T' part fits in the small channel just below the window opening. I'm thinking that the rubber should be inserted so that the flap (or the 'stem of the 'T') is oriented upward Pic 3 as opposed to downward. Pic 4I'm getting confused and without any reference to the original, I'm stumped. Has anyone done this recently? I hope this is making sense. Thanks.

If you look at this picture you can actually see the front welded channel is longer. I have sold rear channels to people who have grafted them on as they are often rotted or missing. You are correct on the "T" channel it fits in the slot and the other side acts like a wiper on the glass. They can be a pain to fit in but there is a cut area to feed 1/2 one way and 1/2 the other I used liberal amounts of KY on mine. I gave up on the clips and screwed mine in as you described earlier in five places.

Thanks, everyone. It's starting to make a lot more sense now. My shop manual says to remove 3 upper glass run channel retaining screws. (Fig 4 in the manual page) Denny sent a picture that showed 2 screws about 3 - 4 inches apart at the top of the window opening. That is what my truck has. Step 6 under Fig. 4 Says to unhook the spring clip attachment to door window opening. Does anyone know what this is? Would this be the clips from my earlier post? I was thinking of tapping a hole in each corner so I could attach a screw to secure the upper run channel as Fig. 4 shows. Just took a closer look at the slides from Brad. I think I see how the clips work.
