Cab Door rear glass guide channel

I cant seem to find any way of fixing this in place. Its the channel at the rear of the door which hold the drop glass in place. http://www.autocrafteng.co.uk/shop/.../glass-guide-channel-right-type-2-68-79_1863/

There is supposed to be somewhere to bolt up to from what I can see in the Bentley. Any clues?

 

Late bays don’t use them

 

Are you sure - my 73 has a rusted one that allows the glass to drop wonky if I take it too far down- I am also looking to replace it soon.

 

That would make sense as I can see anywhere to fix one in. So does the felt channel just hang loose as it were?

 

If you mean the long felt channel that goes up the back edge and across the top, there is a series of clips that grip the channel and slot with little tags into holes in the door frame. I had to use the old ones off the old channel - hopefully you kept them too.

 

Yes exactly

 

It just dangles.

 

My October 1973 build date bus had the channels in both doors.
The replacement doors I bought new from JK in 2011 have an M6 tapped position for the fixing channel at the bottom built into the door. So it has the channels.

 

That’s what my mrs said

 

Let your felts swing free. It's very liberating.

 

How far down should the felt go ? Past the lock or not?

 

Past the lock

 

I am struggling to get it past the lock - does it need to be removed or indeed the handle?

 

Sorted it now ! Thanks for your help.
