Where along the lower door glass is the metal glass channel installed?

If the channel has the little "extensions" on it, the glass extends to the edge or end of those "extensions". If no "extensions", the glass extends out beyond the channel on both ends, equally. I hope I'm making myself clear.

Thanks Lawson.
That makes sense. I have one of each style. I started with the one w/o the guides......it isn’t centered and so I was off a tad bit in aligning with the pin that moves the glass forward.
I have a 20’ roll of setting tape. Measure once - cut twice.....or so it goes.

Tim: Did you get those channels from me? This all sounds familiar somehow,

Here's a comparison of the 2 styles of channels. The one with extensions lines up with the bottom of the door glass.
