Installing Door window glass, 53 Hudson Hornet
Any tips on the installation of glass in front and rear doors. I tried a dry run with a old cracked window to find the best method to install. I got the window in but it was not so easy. Since many of you have already been through this I assume you may be able to give me some direction.
o Position of regulator during install ?
o Tilt of glass during install ?
o Trim removal ?
o Glass channel source ?
o Sound damping material ?
o glass positing tool during install ?
Any help is always appreciated.

I followed the manual when I did mine and it was fairly easy. Down load the manual from the website.

The channel that I am looking for is the one that the glass is installed into. Need all four since mine are rusted through.

Years ago the club sold a reprint of the Hudson body manual for the stepdowns. It was there. But I can't seem to find it on the web site. It was included in a set of 3 I believe.

fliptop, it sounds like VicTor Z has everything you need, right? Or are you talking about you want that double sided fabric tape stuff that fits into the window regulator that holds the glass?

Ok, I get it. I would think that would be available from a Ford restoration supply in lengths that you could trim to fit your application. Just a "U" shaped piece that you could weld onto your window regulator slides. Then, you add the fabric tape. Glass should never touch metal.

Fliptop, I have Window setting Channeling, 24" $10.00 ea. , 32" $13.00 ea. If the brackets are not rusted you can remove and replace on the "Window setting Channel"0

How do I get the old glass out of the window setting channel? It's in there very tight, after 66 years! Any tips?

The instructions from the Hudson body manual were very poor. The screw "A" they refer to was not there, and the screws "B" were not where shown in my 1954 Hornet. It does not tell me how to repair the vent window (crank type) either. When I took out the part that screw "A" was supposed to hold, the gear and other parts from the crank fell into the door.0

This will be helpful I need to do the same to my 53 Hornet. Thanks.
