I am completely perplexed right now.
I'm trying to finish the window install on my 67 coupe, however my passenger side door window is binding in the vent window channel and takes a lot of effort to roll it up and down. All components are original (except door skin) and the regulator works smoothly on its own.
The window tracks are restored and greased.
The vent window channel for the window also has new felt installed.
If I just install the window (not hooked up to the regulator) and try to slide it up and down in the door, it takes a lot of effort and gets bound up. It should almost fall right down in the door if you let go of it, but it doesn't. And the vent window is properly adjusted to the A pillar.
Once upon a time I had the entire door assembled and seemed to recall the window operating smoothly. I had replaced the door skin, but didn't like it so removed it and replaced it with a Dynacorn door skin. When I install the vent window, it's an exceptionally tight fit in between the skin and the shell. I am wondering if that is actually squeezing the vent window channel together somewhat so it causes the door window to bind.
I took an extra vent window I had and tried squeezing it to see how likely this was...and it doesn't really move much at all. So I don't know if this is really pinpointing the problem or not. Because what I'd be faced with is doing some minor surgery there to widen out that area between the door skin and door.
Any suggestions or realizations from past experiences?
