Hello,

My painter pulled out my windows and im working on replacing all the hardware and cleaning up the tracks and what not. Question is, am I missing something here? Why do I have 2 different width tracks? Are the passenger and drivers sides not the same?

Thanks

Colton

There are some oddball items that are 70 early only. Then some things just 70 only that sometimes spilled into early 71 cars. My guess is you have two different years, but as long as the rollers correspond to the matching track, you should be fine. Remember, these cars are 52 to 56 years old now!
 
Yep. Your second from the top track is exactly what is in my Dec 70 build Challenger and in my April 72 build Challenger.

Interesting. After looking into it more with your input, it seems I have one 73-74 set and one 70-72 set. I actually have both rebuild kits so I guess Ill just keep it as is. With the amount of mixing and matching of parts on this car it makes sense
 
New question (sorry)
Ive gone through the service manual and different threads and it looks like im doing it correct, but everything feels wrong.

For the 70-72 track, are these meant to fit so loosely?

Then where are the other parts of this kit meant to fit? The stoppers make sense, and i believe understand how the regulator is meant to attach but a full explanation would really be reassuring. Please advise!

Any advice on the 73-74 kit photo i have also attached would be appreciated as well. I understand more of it but am still unsure about similar things to the other kit.

Hi, See some pics of my '74 door glass after installation plus one with the two runners on the glass before going into the door. I have a step by step list of the order to assemble this but cannot find it right now. Important points are that no bolt or screw goes into a whole unless it is isolated with a rubber gasket or similar, you have 4 black rubber pieces that go into various holes with the runner guides wheels. You should have 4 approx 30mm round spring washers that are part of the guide wheel assembly, these should be tight, not loose, when installed correctly in the glass. Take a look at my pics and if you have any questions come back to me.
