Andy, very very helpful. However, one of the issues is still those clips inner/outer as I ordered all new ones but I'm beginning to think they have the numbers on the clips (they were nicely bagged) are reversed....it sure looks like the ones for the outside are really for the inside. The pic of your door helps but the images of the clips are just to small for me to distinguish....so a close-up pic would still help this old confused sole. But, having said that, your description did help. The first try I made at this the rear nylon bushing broke :-( ... boy those things are brittle.
Sorry for the hijackin' ... just couldn't help myself.

sorry also Th, hopefully you have checked my measurements.
steve, first pic shows the clips, top clips are the brush clips, bottom are rubber clips:
second pics show the clip on the brush:
third pic shows the clip on the rubber, first groove sandwiches the rubber (in cutout) onto the door chrome (simulated by piece of metal) with the spare groove to hold the whole lot to the door skin. The palm of my hand is the window side:
looks like I was in the garage taking the pics while you were writing lol
cheers Andy

Andy, you have saved me days of hunting!! Now I'm good to go on the door glass!
I may have hijacked this thread BUT if any of you plan on putting your door window glass together I strongly urge you to print out all the stuff Andy has provided... you won't find it anywhere else... at least I couldn't find it in any of the usual places.
Have a great day!!
Cheers,
Steve

So, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, the window crank....LOL
What I find interesting is that you said you haven't changed anything, including parts (except the new thinner wood panel), yet this is how it left the factory, these parts and with a door panel on. Is the door crank handle original? Maybe that's going in the shaft too far? But that ties in with where is the pin hole on the shaft. There's another measurement you can throw out for help. How far away is the hole in the shaft from the metal door skin? What do others have? Rich, I'd consider selling the car. This is totally not acceptable.
Having to weld a longer shaft on....somethings not right. I wouldn't do it.
It's probably some really simple we are over looking.
Have you checked the air pressure in your tires? I hear that affects the performance of our cars. And your handle certainly is not performing properly.
Bad handle, bad!

Thanks, Andy (for the other forum post, too). Those pictures are exactly what I needed. I'll get a chance to look into it Monday. I've put over 130 hours into getting things back together since mid March. This weekend is the wife's time.

The solution I came up with was to drill a couple of new holes into the upper part of lower section of the door. I then added a couple of the push clips (as on the bottom edge) which pulled the lower panel inward. I re-worked the forward edge to fit more flush with the door body at the front. Now the window winder works well as does the opener handle. Passenger side looks perfect. Driver side has 1/4 inch gap which I will fix with more clips when the arrive.
