Inside Door Window Frame Loose
I have a 1941 Business Coupe (short door) and am trying to get rid of some annoying door window rattles. Took off the inside door trim panels and can now see pretty clearly that the inside door window frame holding the horizontal window channel isn't holding the glass tight enough to the outside horizontal window frame window channel. There are four screws, two at the top of the frame and one on each side. There are no screws at the bottom.
Seems like there should be fasteners on the bottom of the window frame to snug and hold it against the door but there aren't. I'm probably being too picky worrying about rattling windows but it's annoying. One answer I suppose is to remove the inside window frame and bend, form, manipulate it by hand so that when it goes in with the four screws it's tighter. Anybody dealt with this or have a better idea? |

Consider webbing material, gasket material or thin/thick bits of rubber for shimming stock. A simple fix just might work.
