    I'm putting a basket case 32 five window Coupe back together. The removeable window channel at the rear of the doors is my problem. I see where it is screwed into the door at the top (even with the bottom of the window opening) but how is it attached at the bottom? There is a top hat shaped opening in the channel piece that seems to line up with a hole in the door frame but the channel has a nut lower down that doesn't line up with anything. Do I have the wrong channel? Also, is the channel supposed to be dead straight or does it have a slight arc? Thanks for any suggestions.

    It should bolt to the hole in the door jamb,they might be from a different model, just make em the right length.

    it should be strait.

    The channel has a little jog in it at the bottom so it is tight against the door. I've got several pairs of them and they all appear to be the same???

    The one I have is 20 5/8" long. It is 19 1/2 center-to-center, top hole to bottom nut and the top-hat shaped hole is centered 2" up from the nut, just above the jog. How does this compare with the ones you have? Thanks
