I'm replacing my door window and windshield glass in my 31 Sport Coupe. When installing the new felt channel is there a mastic that you install them with or none? Thanks

The door window side channel felts have locks on the top and bottom to hold them correct? You can use a little bit of weatherstrip adhesive in the middle of these but it is not really necessary. The top window seal needs to be held up with adhesive. Usually if you buy the whole kit it comes with a small tube
What are you using for the windshield seal to frame?3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

How do I attach the clip to the felt channel? I ordered the separate pieces. Just got them yesterday.Comment

No. The felt channel do not have the clips attached. I ordered them from Snyder separately. Dumb! I received the clips from snyder that are cowl band lacing clips which do not look like those from Brattons. and they did not send the rivets that Brattons furnishes with their correct clips. Will the cowl band clips work?? I'll reorder the clips from Brattons I guess.Comment

Yes, better to get the vendor's turn key channels which do fit, 'cause we ordered some recently with clips installed. You can bend the clip end tangs a little for adjustment to allow the channel to stretch a little and not bind. (We've used steel pop rivets for a quick repair but the heads have to be carefully seated to allow the glass to slide past easily.)Comment

I agree with Mitch.
About 15 years ago I ordered the assembled door window channels from Bratton's, and also ordered the kit of pieces. I thought I'd save a few dollars and rivet my own, but it turned out the kit was not identical, but looked like cheaper parts, plus I had to do my own riveting. After that I only order the assembled channels.Comment

O me! I did it again. I hate shipping stuff back from the west coast as the rates are a lot more than other areas.
Thanks for all the tips. I'll re-order. When I added everything up that I bought I saved maybe a buck. I hate not knowing ahead of time. I know, that's what you guys are here for. Thanks so much!Comment

What is the procedure for installing new door window glass in a 30 Murray town sedan?...04-30-2018, 07:55 PM -
Is there a metal track installed in the upper door for the felt to fit into the way there is at the bottom or does it just fit into the door without a separate track installed?You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I have ran into a situation. My regulators all have a roller (that is what i call the wheel looking object that slides on the window channel) that measure 3/4 inches. However the metal glass channel is 5/8 inches. I have attached two images that hopefully describe this in better detail. I can purchase a new metal glass channel, or should I trim off some of the roller to fit the metal glass channel?...02-13-2023, 04:47 PM -

When installing window felts in the doors and quarters does the upper rubber seal go from all the way across the top with the felt channels stopping at it or does it go between the felt channels with the felts going to the top of the door or quarter frame. Mine is a Victoria but any sedan might be the same....11-07-2017, 02:20 PM -
My 82-A window glass channels have the remains of a rubber seal in addition to the bedding. It is located on the outside portion of the channel, where there is a groove to retain the seal (inside red oval in the photo below). I would anticipate it provides a seal between the window and the outer panel of the door. However, I can't seem to find this seal at my usual suppliers. Can anyone confirm...09-22-2020, 10:09 PM -
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 -

The door glass in my 1931 Model A coupe does not go up & down smoothly, it goes up crooked & you have to pull on one side to help it go up. The track &wheel in the track look good & the channel is centered on the glass & felts on both sides are new. what do I have to do to make it work smoothly? thanks bill06-13-2022, 02:52 PM
