Post Car Quarter Window Run Channels

The bracket for your post should look like the top one in post cars pictures. It does not attach to the control arm it attaches to the car body to hold the roof rail piece in one place.

Ok, look at the access opening in your panel, kinda like a figure 8 (kinda)
Now look at the access opening for a 27 series, wider on top, narrows towards the bottom


27 series regulator, window guide (the curved piece that the lower glass guide follows), mounted to the rear of the regulator



11 series regulator window guide to the front of regulator



Now, this is an 11series car, are they inbred or what ??
I`m open for anything, any suggestions ??

My cutlass has the same door skin as Kanskid00 with the 27 series regulator. It uses the top pictured roof rail weatherstripping and bracket in the pictures you posted. The weatherstrip bracket attaches to the slotted area in the door skin right behind the upside down L hole i it. The window guide Rail is as pictured in your series 27 regulator schematic shot.

Not sure where you need to go from here. Sounds like you have the correct regulator provided it looks the one in postcars series 27 shot. Which it looks like it to me from the picture except your missing the window guide rail which I believe is a seperate piece. If thats the case, Youre missing two critical pieces though. The roof rail weatherstrip including braket and the vertical channel that guides the window up. Id ask postcar if his pieces are for sale if it were me. Or youll need to find a donor car at one of the local junk yards. I might be able to take a trip over to Vancouver in a week or two. They have several 65s piled up but dont know if the are post, coupe, conditon or anything really.

The guide rail is a separate piece and it is missing if you only have the regulator.

You really need to have a parts car that you can sit side by side and remove the pieces you need and install to test fit until you get it right. I know that sounds a bit extreme, but it would be really hard to get all the right pieces by picture and description. There are so many little bits and pieces that are missing on your car it would be hard. As you can see from the diagrams and pics that postcar posted, yours is slightly different so a side by side would be most helpful.

You think your missing "B" "C" & D"" Give me some time, I`ll throw a pic together. Nothing gets bolted to the lift arm of the regulator. Only the glass lift channel gets pinned at the outer end of the lift arm.

My central air went "tits-up", soon as I get it brazed and re-charged I`ll be back

O.K. oldsproject and kanskid, figure out if this is what you think you have. This is the illustrated 27 series. There`s nothing else in the quarter cavity, just this stuff, laid out as pictured.
K-kid, "D" is the guide rail that the nylon notched guide attached to the bottom of the glass follows as the glass goes up/down. It`s not a brace.



If nothing else, this thread has gotten me used to photobucket

I guess, hotter than hell here too, humidity is like crazy. The water comin out of my A/C sounds like a horse pissin on a flat rock !!

KansasKid, everything in that pic from Postcar can be had from a 64-65 Cutlass (obviously) and a 64-65 Pontiac, GTO or Tempest and a Buick as well (Special, GS Skylark). If I'm not mistaken the Chevy's glass runs and channels, etc. are different and won't interchange, but I could be wrong.

I checked my Hollander's manual, but they don't list quarter panel parts like you are looking for, at least my version doesn't. However, I checked the door window regulators which they do list and the door regulators are all the same for all A-bodies including Chevelles. As a matter of fact the door window regulators for a 64-65 B-O-P A-body will even work in a 64-67 Chevelle. So my guess would be that regulators and similar window guide parts will interchange for all A-bodies as well. I do know for a fact that the entire greenhouse (everything above the doors including the front and rear windshields and the attaching front and rear panels (cowl areas) from a 64-65 Pontiac A-body is the same. Hollander's also shows that the roofs for the Buick's are the same as well for the post cars, but there are a couple of differences in the glass and other parts for the Buick's where as the Pontiac's are the same as the Olds, again, for post cars.

My problem is that I don't have ANY of the stuff in the picture, except the controller, but it is what I NEED! The lower edge of my quarter windows does not have the piece of metal that the guide rail runs thru as it guides the window, and my controller doesn't have that guide rail. I assume the metal piece is mounted to that lower window edge bracket. Someone could have removed the guide rail, but I don't have any holes in my inner panel where it would look like they had been mounted. I have two sets of quarter windows and neither have that metal bracket on their bottom edges.

I tried to install my quarter windows today, using the fabbed stuff I built. It would work, I think, but to get the window to glide up and down in the vertical channel, I would need to remove the nylon guide on the top front edge of the window, as I used door/vent channel as a vertical channel. The nylon block is too wide with the seal in place; that channel uses a one-piece rubber/felt seal. The glass would then ride on the chrome front edge. Obviously, it would work better with the right parts.

Postcar, are you interested in selling the front vertical pieces and the top/slanted pieces? I think it would work okay if I used those pieces. Only problem then is being able to buy new felts for the vertical piece. I believe the door/vent seals would work for the top and slanted piece. What do you guys think?

AMEN! I have run into those kinds of differences in manuals myself. I bought an assembly manual online a while back so I could see how things were supposed to be put together........since my car was such a bastardized POS when I bought it.....and what I had was nothing like what was shown in the manual, in some cases, so I started treating it like I did my '40 Chevy when I built it, and just put things together to work, not necessarily as the General intended them. Got along pretty good since. My car had had a Chevy motor in it (you wouldn't believe the globs of weld holding the motor mounts in place), had had so many different transmissions in it that the trans tunnel was almost non-existent, had front springs baling-wired in place for rear springs, lower trailing arms welded solid to the rearend housing for makeshift traction bars. Wadda pig! Where do ya start with something like that?....from scratch, that's where. Plus the car had laid in the dirt for so long, the front brake hubs were rotted completely thru! But as I said before, post cars are so scarce around this part of the country, I thought it was worth saving. I've parted out two 442's and a Cutlass to get the parts I needed. Been quite a ride.
