Window regulators

Thank you Mike,
Enjoy your trip

Finally successfully installed the new window regulator and replaced the felt with rubber backed felt, except the window wouldn't wind up into the rubber at the top, so that bit is now a composit of rubber with felt in between.

Looking at the outside of the window there is a large gap between the crome door trim and a drop of about 3/4" to the metal felt strip.

Should there be a rubber strip there, and if so does anyone know what profile it is?

I'm still away so can't completely answer your question. However, there is no rubber strip on the outside of the wind up window glass. The original wide metal strip, that had two parallel felt strips fastened to it, was screwed to the wood that in turn is screwed to the steel door frame. The two felt strips were supposed to wipe the window glass as it was wound down, much like a more modern rubber strip would have. Not sure about the 3/4" gap. All I can say is that the chrome window frame has to be shimmed where it screws to the door frame in order to get the horizontal chrome finisher strip to fit properly.
