Gentlemen:
I continue the resto on my 1960 BE. This week I began working on sprucing up the side curtains. I removed the rubber gaskets and attaching brackets, polished the metal and refurbed the plastic.
I have to order new rubber gaskets from VB or Moss, but just to see how the brackets would hold in place, I put the windows on the door. That's when I spotted what could be a problem:
- The driver's side frame goes right up against the windshield post when the door is closed. That means that once the rubber gaskets are on the frame is going to be a really tight squeeze in this area. Meanwhile, the passenger door window frame seems to allow enough of a gap that will be filled quite comfortably by the new gaskets.
I measured both window frames and found they are identical. They both are attached by the thumbscrews, which are in their proper spots on the doors. Their mounting brackets are in the same spots and I found that the back ends of the windows reach to the very back of the doors so the roof should fit securely.
The doors shut correctly and the windshield seems to be positioned correctly, so where is the geometry wrong on the car?
