    Cut the bridge beneath the vent window out, then use the earlier felt channel. I think you may need the earlier regulators also, the ones in the 53 would work at the rear of a full panel of glass, tilting it when you rolled it up.

    That the earlier , larger glasses are prone to cracking as well....

    Poor cab ventilation when you loose the vent wings .

    Glass

    Dang Breezy. Have you got any $ left? I guess some folks are just rich. A door glass dont cost much and dont take but a hour to change out unless the channels need replaceing. Did you ever change to the ele wiper motor.
