How/where to find/make misc side window parts?

[Dibbons]

Took many days with break free rust spray to remove the side window track screws. Now we find two styles of gasket/washers were used at the factory to protect the holes in the glass where the screws pass through. On the washer side, is a plain rubber like gasket, on the screw side is a rubber like gasket with a built in cylinder-shaped spacer the same thickness as the glass. I assume these gaskets are no longer available. At least I haven't seen them anywhere (unless these are stocked at glass shops perhaps?). Anyway, how does everyone else put these windows back together when the factory gasket/washers disintegrate upon disassembly? Thank you.

Try online search with obsolete Mopar parts dealers. I bought 8 of them from Len Dawson(Deception Pass Auto Parts). Still in Mopar package part # 3744734
AMS Obsolete lists they have some in stock

Found a foto of one listed (as #3744734) to fit a 1974 model (mine is 1972 SSP). It looks to be a newer style that perhaps snaps together and eliminates the metal screw (that obviously rusts solid after time) but I am not sure. Maybe daytona71 can give us some more specific details about his original style and how this style may/may not work.

The new bushing shown in that photo do work well. The combination washer/nut is installed on the outer side of the glass. The white nylon lock ring goes on from the interior side, and a 1/4 turn locks it in place. All this does is keep the threaded washer from falling off the glass once you slide the glass down into the door before screwing to the regulator lift arm. Have to run out to shop to see if the glass in 72 used the same bushing , most likely does

Mega parts carries a kit for 55
That has those parts.
The part in the pic Is for a e body
If i just needed those plastic washers
I would take a plastic lid from a used food container
or something similar And cut one out of that

 

[Dibbons]

The critical part is probably the insert part that fits inside the round hole in the glass itself, might be a little tricky to substitute that, but I am sure there is a way.

 

[daytona71]

A plastic tube with outside diameter that fits through the whole in the glass, and in inside diameter that the screw just fits through would work. Suggest a dab of silicone on the threaded washer to hold it to the glass while you fasten to lift arm with the screws.

Here is a picture of the megaparts package and a closeup of my parts, don't look similar to me.

My parts are: center of foto-metal washer with threads and Phillips head screw that fits into such washer, left of foto-plain fiber/rubber washer (upper one OK, lower one disintegrated), right of foto-rubber type washer with built it rubber cylindrical spacer that fits into hole of window (upper one just holding on to the spacer and lower one with built in spacer already broken off).

Last foto shows the window bracket attached to the window with the two Phillips head screws in the bottom right of the foto (please disregard the empty yellow beer can in the top right of foto).

that kit looks incomplete to me or its a partial kit of some sort
it is missing some parts that
i know i saw in their kit when i had it in my hands at carlisle.

i needed just one of those window up stops and
the only place that i could find it it was in that kit.
i just couldn't justify spending 55 dollars for the one lousy up stop i needed
so i didn't buy it.
knowing the parts you are looking for
i'm sure you could come up with a good substitute that would work fine..

The Mega parts picture definitely is not correct for your 72. Still haven't found the correct part number for a 72 as yet, but pretty sure that the Mega parts is not what you need.

 

[Dibbons]

The four greenish parts in the megaparts package I could use, they are some kind of stops/bumpers, two in each side glass, one of mine is missing and the other three are old and "crispy". And the megaparts package is for 71-72 B Bodies which would be correct for a 72 SSP, although the black washer/gaskets are still nowhere to be found.

nope,he doesn't have it
been there,done that..
btw
he is the one who sent me to mega! lol
i searched a long time for 71 b door parts
the only way that i know he is going to ever find that exact plastic washer and spacer
is to buy someone's rusty door and harvest or someone has extra door parts laying around
that is why i suggested for him to make something up himself if he is in a hurry
or he could throw up a wanted ad..

I know Ace Hardware sells round rubber gaskets about the size of a large washer. The spacer for the hole in the glass could be made with something a simple as a snip of rubber vacuum tubing or plastic tubing of the appropriate size. The window is not going to know the difference, as long as there is no contact between the glass and metal parts. Thank you everyone for your efforts.

(Yesterday I actually found that same Megaparts kit in a box of new parts I had hidden away months ago that I had purchased from another supplier and forgot about)

Beware that sometimes parts that don't look the same are because Ma Mopar Superceded the parts for a better design later . Just food for thought .

 

[daytona71]

If the 4 holes in the glass where they line up with the regulator are 1/2 inch in diameter, the 3744734 is the correct part as in the picture by dibbons

I have door parts running out my ears, if you can tell/show me exactly what you need, I can send you the parts for a very minimal sum. Are you only looking for the mounting parts that go through the glass? I think there are four per window? I have about 6 doors worth of hardware.

i just cut cork the size of those washers that screw together, i was lucky the black inserts were still decent
