Late 31 Cabriolet Run Channels

[Tinbasher]

Hi Guys:
I'm working on a late 31 Cabriolet with "Steel Doors" My question is? How are the window run channels held into the channels? Are they like a coupe and use the metal clips on the top and bottom or are they glued in or just work on friction. Pictures from the "Cabriolet Guys" would be great.

Thanks John Poole

There are three screw holes in the channels and three d-nuts in the door
You simply attach the long channel with the theee screws
6-32 flat head as I recall
One in the bend and two toward each end

Thanks Oldbluoval. That gives me an idea of where I'm heading. JP

If you have original channels, the screw holes are almost always broken out. Then it's impossible to put a small screw to hold them. I have no solution for that unless some washer-type set up. You can't weld on them as the felt would burn.

I have new channels. The trick is are they going to work.
