I can't find where the early doors used a fuzzy strip in the rear window channel. It just seems wrong when the late doors had one. Am I missing something or does the glass flop around in the rear channel?
I looked at 914Rubber.com and they do show a rear fuzzy but the part number (914.542.171.14) returns 73-76 when I Google it. Mark's part number is 914LFWF so I wonder if that means "Late Door Window Fuzzy"? Trying to get the '72 put back together after 30 years is tough.... EARLY:  LATE (showing part 18 as a fuzzy strip):  |

iirc the plastic piece on the bottom rear of the window rides in the track. the early end cap kind of helps with window wiggle. i think mark sells repros of those.

Mr. Rhododendron, As I start getting more pieces assembled and out of storage I think you are right about the guide riding in the channel. Early doors/windows are weird.... Now where did I put the windows? |

This is the driver's door showing the rear and center lifts.
The front is guided by the metal piece attached to the window glass with tiny rollers. I am getting closer!  |

While replacing the early doors with late doors and the "good" window lift mechanism is a great idea, it's way to late now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Ron, I debated "upgrading" to late doors but trying to keep this one very close to concours, but then I doubt I would lose points for it.
