What's incorrect here? Besides the incorrect nut and non raised washer.

You mean the yellow stop? It was still in the glass and has never been removed. What about the orange roller?

Also have read through the pinned thread and it's safe to say, I haven't a clue.

Hahaha! Okay, had me scratching my head. Luckily a gentleman came over earlier in his 426 early build 70 Challenger and was able to take a photo or two of inside the door. Going to give it another go tomorrow.

Anyone have an extra drivers side door glass they'd part with  :barf:

I'm sorry, the days you take two steps back really suck.   

I had a hell of a time just removing my glass so I can imagine.   All you can do is saddle up again, good luck.

I broke the original driver's door glass on my convertible. I installed a piece of reproduction door glass. That piece shattered on its own during the summer due to expansion. I think one of my non-metallic washers wasn't installed correctly and steel bolt came in contact with the glass a few years after a shop installed it. The next piece, the wife and I installed.

Honestly, I was just replacing a front roller on the glass. I didn't like how much play was on it so was putting on a replacement from DMT. One second all is good, the next it blew up like a bomb. Sad part is, the new roller wasn't even all the way through the speed washer/nut so yeah.  :Thud:
