How about a proper ONE PIECE WINDOW thread......
louisb:
Donny B. has a nice setup.
I have the bugpack kit, which most everyone sells these days, going in the '67. The problem with all the kits I have seen is that the ends of the door scrapers don't curve up to meet the window channel. There is also not enough support when the window is rolled down so they rattle. Both seem to be easy fixes. The hot rod aftermarket has some really nicely engineered kits that fit well. Why we can't have the same is beyond me.

We sold the old San Bernardino Glass kits
some of the "problems" were truly from the design of kits, though some of the parts were improved upon as years went on.
but honestly, most of the issues stemmed from poor installation techniques. A lot of rushed and sloppy jobs done by D I Y'ers. Of course they were the guys that bitched and wanted to warranty everything.
if a guy leaves the stock door stop ion place, it will break glass if window is rolled down and the door is closed. We sold a little looped cable that replaced the door stop that flexed enough not to break glass.

good idea.
Gary Berg's were trick in the Berglar. They even had a bright molding at lower outer sill, that fit contour of stock door. And they didn't rattle, jam, fall down, etc.
Don't forget the cables to replace stock door stops (that have to be removed to do 1 piece glass)
I can't begin to tell you how many 1 piece kits I sold in the 90's..... :o
they were a fast mover.... big time!
Cal Stops ;D

I think that is the trick right there. Take your time, make sure everything is right, and you shouldn't have any problems.
