I am building a '37 Chevy coupe and want to remove the door vent windows and install 1 piece glass. I have been told that due to the geometry changing on the glass that I cannot keep the factory window crank mech because it will cause the glass to get into a bind when going up/down. Is this true? If so what have others done to stay away from elect windows ? I saw in the April 2010 Rod & Custom,"Hemrod" has what is described as "sliders" to raise and lower the door glass....probably has 3/4 settings that the glass can be lowered to.....is this a kit or do I need to pull out the erector set ? Thanks HAMB'ers !!!
the biggest problem is the the vent frame, it on a different angle than the door glass. if the car isn't painted it's an easy fix. put a straight edge on your door glass to the front of the door you'll get an idea of what your up against.
