What a job this was by my self. Destroyed one window channel felt. Had to sand those. Plastic guides down twice. So it could fit. Put the window regulator in after window was in pulled the bolt on the vent window at bottom of door to get the regulator in. I did the vent window screw out at the top of the vent window and spread the channel out used paint stick's to hold it apart. Then found out the rear window channel had to be taken loose lay that in the bottom of the door. Once the window was in put it back on the window. So It has been an all day job. But might have gone faster with two people. Now on to the passenger side. :lol:

Nice. I am not looking forward to that task. The rest of the stuff bothers me not. That one sure does though.

It would have gone better Jack R if I had another person I am sure. But I proved it can be done by one man. It is going to cost me another set of channel felt's but live and learn.

Oh no not another window to deal with. I here that droptop. That would be another can of worm's to deal with. Those pop out window's where a real treat also. A lot of work goes into these car's and don't think people really appreciate what goes into restoring these car's and the guy's that have done the work to them. So keep that runner running buddy.

AZ Desert,
Quarter windows have quite the mechanism but the 2DHT sure looks good with all the windows down

I have the hardtop as well. Not looking forward to any of that. I did find an article on-line from Hot Rod that goes over much of the process of installing and aligning both door and quarter windows. Maybe that will help some. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/1968-plymouth-barracuda-side-glass-regulators-and-window-alignment/

It says '68 Barracuda, but the car and parts in the pictures sure look like a RR to me.
Thanks WWheeler. I did my research and did see this one and another one where they pulled the back part of the vent window out and slid the window in that way. That is the way I did it. Being by my self figured I could handle it that way. Appreciate the help.
