    Anyone got a pic of these door glass guides installed/ I'm guessing there must by a bracket that bolts to the bottom that bolts to the inside door panel where there is a place for a 12-24 bolt , where I drew an arrow in the pic. I have original doors still and that's the only place I can see them secured at the bottom. Anyone reproduce the front glass guide, I'm missing one.

    I don't believe there is a bracket. As I recall the channel curves at the bottom and has a d nut in it

    A number 10 screw is the fastener


    The front channel is not reproduced , but is easily made

    Secures five inches below the dove tail through the outside of the door.

    The guides you have pictured are for the rear of the door.same end as the door latch..the guide for the front is much different...

    Cool. thanks for the input/guidance folks! I did make up one of those guides for the leading edge. It worked out fine but I had to use screws/speed clip nuts to attach as they were originally spot welded in. Funny my 32 (original with it's original doors) does not have those holes on the backside , never were there ever, yet there are holes on the inside door panel exactly at that height. I made up slotted angle brackets and this allows me to have side to side and fore/aft adjustment of the rear glass guide. Wonder if this was a mfg change later in production as I've read there were loads of changes in these cars throughout their short production run. Or maybe it's because mine is Cdn car/cdn serial number. Who knows? Thx

    Probably the most well hidden information today. A 32 Ford Door Assembly Illustration.
