Decided to swap out our 69 doors with glued in windows for 70 doors and screwed in windows. I know I could have used the 69 door shells, but they were too rusted. I also wanted to swap out the electric windows for crank-up windows. I want reliability, though the electric system worked.
Anyway, got the passenger door in, swapped out the passenger quarter window (69 quarter windows are too large), then spent about two hours trying to align the door window and quarter window with no luck. The top overlaps the quarter window more than the bottom part. I do have to put new hinges in (should have checked that out when the door was off), but that shouldn't do too much in realigning the windows. After a couple of days of driving the car, I have to push the quarter window back a little because a gap has started where it meets the roof. Any suggestions?
I have seen other 69 and 70 Cats with the same problem and wonder if it may be something I have to live with.
