A brief update to simply add the picture of the corrected door window alignment. It looks great when the window is up, but it's still off a bit with the window down - both left side (pictured) and right side are affect by this alignment.

However, I am thinking that once I install the door panels, this might be corrected. I am still awaiting the "'Cuda" door panel emblems, and once those arrive, I'll install the right side first to see how the window alignment looks. I'd rather get the right side corrected first because that is the more difficult side; the left side seems to be better aligned.

Totally off subject, but I noticed that the left side door hinge works differently than the right side. With the door locked, the driver can egress by simply pulling the handle (not needing to unlock the door). However, the on the right side, the passenger must unlock the door first before actuating the door handle. I guess for safety reasons?

Call it good, I've owned my car for 30yrs and have NEVER rolled down the rear windows.

I agree Katfish and good advice - If I try and mess with it any more, I am likely to make it worse and not better. Some things just have to be "good enough." I am happy though that at least it presents well and honestly, as long as the door window functions well (which it does), I will be satisfied. Onto the next task ... the seats.

I too sometimes get caught up in details to my detriment, best to remember
