Title: Bailey Channel/Door Glass Removal Post by: Oggz on February 18, 2017, 05:05:00 PM Hey all, have done a bit of searching but can seem to find what I am looking for.
I am at the stage of replacing all the window channeling for the doors, the old stuff in place in pretty damn old, wouldn't surprise me if was original. How the frig do you get the old channels out without removing the window and how the frig do you remove the window without removing the old channel?

You can then slide the glass down and pull it out the same way(you may need to take the 1/4 window adjusting bolt from the door to allow a bit of extra movement.
As for the channels, you can use a flat bladed screw driver and lever the channels from inside the frame. You will need to make sure all the old clips have been removed from the door frames. The door belts are removed in the same manner but care is needed not to chip the paint.

I hope the fronts are a bit easier than this one Cheers Oggz Title: Re: Bailey Channel/Door Glass Removal Post by: Stewy on February 19, 2017, 03:18:46 PM Rear doors, glass comes out by turning to one side and pass it up between inner and outer panels at belt line.
Advice is to buy a manual, page 35 has all the pictures and explains it very well. Best money you will ever spend while working on these old cars.

You will need to take the door check bracket out and then remove the channel adjust bolt as well. The channel needs to be pushed away a little bit to let the window come free.
The door belt strips need to be removed once the glass is down in the door and then the glass will come out upwards. If the rubber at the bottom of the window is dry and hard it will probably break as the window comes up. Not much you can do about this.
