Door glass and other door questions

[Wayne64]

I currently have 4 doors, one new passenger shell, one decent drivers take off and my pair that was on the truck. I started the learning process by stripping down my passenger door. Then started on the drivers door and realized something was wrong. It seems (at least to me) that I have a passenger glass frame in the drivers side. My first clue was the spacers and longer bolts on the window stop so it would work. I went to my manual and the parts break down and only saw one number for the frame.
My questions,

Is there a left and right to these frames?
Are the window channel liners available and what do they cost?
Are the top of door wipers available and cost?

Thanks much Folks

Hi Wayne,
Yes, there is a left and a right frame. I got my glass rubbers from George Mainieri, he might still have some, or try John at Midwest Military. I got the top wipers from Memphis Equipment.

Thanks Tim,At least on the Memphis site I saw the pieces instead of just a description. While looking at my channels I believe I came up with a make do. I will buy the 4 this time around but down the road the supply may dry up. If I had too I would glue in a piece of Vinyl siding J channel, I had some hanging around and looked like a perfect fit, to inside line the riveted in liner.

Another note, I put new tracks or sliders in the doors that the frame goes up and down in. They don't work worth a darn. Too tight a fit. Did they all work like this? There is no further adjustment to free them up more, I even tried polishing the painted frame to slick them. No joy. I'm interested in this thread and info., no trying to hyjack it. John

I also replaced the tracks that the window slides up and down in, and also find the windows tight. I assume it just needs to get worn in a bit.

Interesting to here about the tightness with the new channels. Since I have the time and extra worn out channels I may just give the Vinyl a try. I really would rather have a free cranking window than to fight the crank. If it leaks some air, I don't care as I drove the truck in the winter with holes in the tub big enough for squirrels to visit!

The felt/hair that lined the window tracks is not a vinal. I had a friend use velcrow strips in another application. Worked well. It might be thinner than the new stuff which would be better in my opinion. John

The 54 ORD 9 has an excellent illustration and lists left and right separate parts and numbers.

I had a tougher time finding the glass sweeps more than anything else-got 'em from Adirondack Dodge as I recall.
