Conv door glass Up Stop adjustment question

[Chris Many]

Hi Guys,

My 70 Satellite Conv came mostly dismantled with some parts missing. I am trying to adjust my new door glass as it cranks up too far. No up stop. I think I am missing a part for the up stop (assuming there is one). I have the stop post attached to the glass, but it doesn't align with anything. Do I have the wrong track (refer to pictures) or am I missing something ? The FSM is no help when it comes to convertibles.

on a 68 the up stop mounts to the slots with arrows pointing at them..

that must be these things. I see no evidence on my original doors that they were ever bolted to it. no marks in the paint. maybe it's for power windows only ?

not sure what the plastic post I have labeled "stop post" does. on older cars it hits a bracket welded to the glass channel, which my original parts don't have.

Thats the up stop, should make contact with a tab on the regulator arm...

Actually maybe not... I think the up stop might have changed between 68 & 70... Your plastic post might contact a tab on the upper door frame.. On an E body these mount to the outer door structure just below the window sweeps

Looking at this picture

Any chance you installed the stop post on the wrong side of the glass? look at the outer structure & see if the up stop bracket is in that area? Or at least a tapped bolt hole to mount the up stop...

It's installed correctly. if I put it on the other side it would still have nothing to run up against.
