Another window question

Post by Wayne64 »

Now I'm really confused. The parts list only calls out one part number for the window channel 7374789. Now on checking out the Tm 9-8030 fig 220 page 408 it shows what appears to be correct going by the installation instructions. What is in my door looks different because of the bracket that holds the limit stop. Yet if the drivers side was removed and installed in the passenger side it would look correct. So guy's is there a left and a right side window frame? If so I have two right sides.

After much searching found the answer in the Direct suporrt parts manual. That does indeed list a left and a right side. The number from he parts manual is the right side. Left side is 737-4790. Now that I have my answer I have to fab a piece to act as a stop.

Are you talking about the stop for the bottom of the glass panel? If so I have several spares, yours if you need 'em?

Thanks Bruce, but it is not a factory stop that I need. A complete drivers door glass and channel frame is more like it. Since I have a right side glass frame installed on the drivers door I have to custom make the stop that limits travel of the glass upwards.

So we're talking the felted track/traveler on either end of the window? Does the panel continue to crank up, not stopping?

I may be not clear in my description. The glass sits in a channel that has cut outs for the regulator pins. In the center bottom there is a bracket that has two bolts. The bolts hold the adjustable angle stop for window travel at the top of it's stroke. The glass holding channel is what has two different part numbers and I have two right side windows.

Good point! Have you looked at the manuals remedy, I think I remember a mallet and a 2 X 4?
BTW, these parts/panels are all over, NOS, TO as well as REPRO.
