What hold the window up?

Post by bobc »

I've been working on getting the 41 ready for yard duty, replaced radiator hoses and pulled the old flat bed off, it started snowing pretty good and I've been meaning to figure out why the drivers door window wouldn't work, I pulled the panel off and rolled the regulator down and every thing went back together easy enough,but I didn't see anything to hold the two pieces together,what hold the window to the regulator? I even looked through all the manuals and couldn't see anything.

If I understand you correctly, You have to "hook" the window bottom slide channel onto the arms of the regulator. You do this by tipping the whole regulator up at an angle

The regulator arms have round "button" type pins that have a angle on the outside edge, these slide into the channel at the bottom of the window frame, but what keep these buttons in the channel?

If I remember correctly, they have a raised edge that "hooks" into the runner.

You also need to have at least the remnants of the windo channel in the door frame else I think it might fall out

OK, that is probably the problem, the felt(?) is all dried out and was sitting in the bottom of the door,so I imagine the widow flops around too much and the hooks can fall out of the channel. So who sells the channel?

Jim Carter antique Chev parts. It is a 1946 Chevrolet truck to him, NOT an army truck :)
