How about a proper ONE PIECE WINDOW thread......
Black Sheep:
My car came with them fitted as standard ;D ::)
But seriously Im looking into grafting some 65ish inner door sections into my original split doors , so I can use 67 twin lifters , as the split lifters are a bit pants after nearly 60 years of use .

Donny was kind enough to send me a couple of pieces of that molding. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have his talent for making it look right. Embarrassed
It just takes a little time Louis. I cut the rubber with sizzors then used emery paper to sand to the exact shape and taper. The sanding is what takes time. It goes kinda slow.
The corner seals are from some one piece kits that Car Custom and some others sold back in the '80s. They were strange with a channel for a metal strip with holes to slide into to support the seal against the door. At the ends they could be bent up by notching the inside lip and they had a hole that went all the way through that you could put a piece of aluminum wire into to hold the shape. I long ago lost he aluminum and use small dia welding rod.
Here's some photos of the rubber I used for the corners. I had to do a lot of trimming, but it worked for me.

then there's the black bitch that runs them.
I spoke to Alex about putting one piece windows in mine, he swore at me and we satin blacked the quarter light surround instead ;)
Dougy Dee:
I used a set from Topline in the early 90's. It had an an aluminum rod that slipped in the end of the scrapes that could be curved to the doors contour.
Dont 64 and earlier cars need to be 'upgraded' to 65 and newer for the regulators to work?
This is the only upgrade I did to my 61 that I regretted.
Never again.
Harry/FDK:
After all the pro's and con's i'm gonna stick to original, maybe black powdercoat frames.
