My 29 Tudor was in the driveway during an unexpected heavy rain. Without an interior I was able to see all the leaks. I have never seen any seals between the windows and body listed any where. Interior pictures of recent restorations show unstained panels, not the case with older interiors. I know the importance of keep the door drains clear. What about the water at the rear quarter windows? I don't see drains at the bottom of those panels. Here in western Colorado you don't have to take off your shoes to count the rainy days. That can't be said for most areas of the country. I plan to keep her in the garage when it rains, but it can happen. Then there is washing the car.

The only per say window seal is basically a anti rattler on the outside of the glass. I am not sure of the exact locations of the drains but many have drilled their own holes.3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

I have a 29 Tudor, and if you lay on a creeper and look up you can see the drain holes for the rear quarter panels.
I had pictures of them, but they are on my old computer, which is tucked away for now.
The doors also have drain holes, and slant outward at the top, so no water should hit the panels.Comment

Stick your finger up where the body meets the front of the rear fender. It's not a round hole, more of an oblong space. Look at the mirror in the middle of the photo.Last edited by Dennis; 10-10-2017, 03:14 PM.Comment

When I restored my 29 tudor 40 years ago, I remember seeing holes for water to drain out of the door and body but of course they get stopped up with debris over the years and then it rusts. I am not sure if there is any way to keep it out but maybe larger drain holes would help.Comment

Now that the outside of the car is done, I am looking forward to doing the inside. That is a project that will probably be done nest spring. However, I am trying to gather what I need for the project. I have read and re-read the thread Mitch posted a few months ago on the Classtique interior kit. At this point, I will probably go that same route.
Currently, I am driving around in...10-29-2019, 01:15 PM -
All years are basically the same regarding the Tudor rear glass run replacement. These need to be done with the glass in place. The only way to get the glass in or out short of a hammer is by removing the runs. The top of the run has a little tang that is bent down to hold it in place. The bottom has a duck bill looking tang that just slides up into the lower frame slot. I have always found that even...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

On my ccpu I have installed new weatherstripping, new glass, using new welt to hold glass in. Windows rolled up and down with no issues. I installed new door panels and all new handles and euchtions (sp) now when I roll the window down and back up when the glass gets about midway the channel that holds the glass is hitting the regulator and won’t go any further. To make matters worse it’s happening...11-05-2021, 07:13 PM -

Hey All,
It's window time. Backs and the front passenger side are getting a little fussy. I pulled all the regulators and gave them a good cleaning and greasing and they all work great. However, I'd like to shim the channels a little on the upper door pillar side but cannot get the window trim off. Well, it's almost off, but I cannot get the vertical side off of the door pillar.

I completed removing the complete interior from my 155-C (and removed what seemed like a thousand tacks/brads). I would be happy to photograph, measure, etc. any sections that are needed by VFF members. The new interior is scheduled to arrive late this month so requests should consider that time frame. I plan to start installing the new panels in early January. Note that I am not doing the seats...12-17-2019, 06:10 PM -
i finally got the Tudor painted and would like to begin assembling the window channels however it’s been almost a year since I took it apart and neglected to take adequate pictures. I purchased all new window felts and upper rubber seals the problem( if it is one) is that I have four wooden strips approximately 1/8 inch thick that appear to be shims that would go between body and back side of side...09-12-2019, 03:18 PM

I have a Briggs 60A and am starting on the interior which i'll be doing myself. I need to replace all of the interior door panels, areas that wrap around the rear seats, around the windows, and misc trim. I'm wanting something that will last another 100 years and basically is marine grade stuff.
The door panels are of thicker yet still pliable material but some the rats have gotten...09-19-2021, 03:18 PM -
So, I'm pretty much done with the chassis for my '31 Deluxe Delivery and am back on body panels that I started 2 years ago. The entire top of the 1/4 panels, from the drip rails up, had to be replaced as it was rotted right out from water getting under the roof. A friend and i made new top panels as well as the rear corners but did not finish the ends as i was down g it at he]is place and didn't have...You do not have permission to view this gallery.
