Anybody have pics of where the solenoid mounts for a '70 Plymouth RR? Seems like it is near the fuse block and on the inside of the dash. Thank you!

I had the same problem with my glass installation being too tight. But I used new AMD glass and pretty sure the curve of that is too much to match the curve of the channel. I had the new curved fuzzy strip btw. I determined that the plastic shoes were not helping the tightness. Without the...

Was this an original turn switch or a replacement?

I used Ballistic SSBK and like the black foil and like it. I was also concerned about an asphalt smell. I molded rubber for 40 years and all elastomers are not created equal. It is very possible to add fillers to cheapen the product and what I was worried about with the less expensive products...

Yes, it is a mess. Luckily, my vent glass from ECS was ok. I never did update this and will now. The Qtr glass was too tall by 1/4". My solution was to cut the arm of the regulator by 1/4" and weld back together. This is the arm that connects to the pivot bushing on the glass frame. Did that...

69_Coronet makes an excellent point. I molded urethane for decades and using the proper grease is critical. Certain urethanes are compatible with mineral grease but I suspect this type of urethane is NOT. As stated, the white sticky grease is silicone based is what you want to use for these...

I gave up and found new cylinders. Kind of a waste, but oh well. The new front cylinders are close, but use a different outer dust seal. The original ones used a dust seal that had a metal ring molded in and press fitted on the cylinder. The new cylinder's dust seal is like the rear's. Stretch...

So the verdict is......The AMD qtr glass is too tall. Charles was a tremendous help and measured his original qtr glass. Comparing his to the new AMD piece, the new glass was consistently 1/4"+ taller. Only a 1/4", but it is that last 1/4" rise where the regulator moves mostly forward and only a...

I am good. Thank ypu.

Perfect and thanks. I may be barking up the wrong tree, but just have to check for everything that can go wrong. I did find the part number for the frame and that is correct. All the other parts match the mounting holes with no issue. The regulator looks to be the same as what I have seen, but...

Contacting them. Thanks.

I had hoped it was the adjustments, but not sure. The glass hits the rubber seal above and cannot go up any further. And it needs to move at least 3/4" forward to look like yours. You can tell it needs to up more because of the emblem on the glass. If I could get the regulator go up more, it...

I am replacing the door and QTR glass on my '70 RR hardtop. The AMD door glass fit ok. The AMD QTR glass not too good. Granted, the qtr window mechanicals were in a bag when i bought the car, but it was all there. I have looked at countless pictures and videos and am sure I have the mechanicals...

New bumpers made my RR decklid sit high on one side and low on the other. The high side, I sanded the bumper with a 400 grit disc until it was correct. The low side I added a piece of EPDM rubber and cut to shape. Super glue bonds rubber very easily.

Thanks!
