Installing window glass

Post by Langan »

28/29 windows . I have tried 4 different way. Glass is cut 19" one end and 20 on other. I can make it close good at top, but when down its low up front and high at rear.
I assume this is correct because when down it hit rubber cushions.

Is the glass supposed to have different measurements from front to back???

It matches window opening.
Do you have a AA? How do your window work?

Langan, For the 82-A closed cab, the rear of the door glass is likely to be slightly higher than the front in the lowered position. Many Ford archive photos show this (see attached example).
