Door Glass Install

[Brewster]

My painter delivered me back a terrible jigsaw puzzle of door bits and I still don't have it all correct. I'm getting a whistle at motorway speeds from the nearside, plus the glass isn't stuck in the lifter rail correctly.

Could someone let me know how the glass is meant to be held in the rubber and the rail? Is it just interference fit or are they bonded in? As in glass bonded to rubber then rubber to lifter rail?

Also I believe I'm missing at least one seal at the quarterlight on the door. An extended figure-8 cross section on the outside between the quartelight frame and the outer door skin, but is there meant to be a seal on the inside of the quarterlight? As if to continue the inner window scraper along the length of the frame, if that makes sense? I've seen a parts diagram showing one of these, but my door has two webs joining the inner and outer doorskin here so I can't see how it should slot in.

Cheers.

There is no inner seal by the quarter light., but you need to seal the gap between the aluminium and the door with sealer similar to dumdum. The glass is a push fit into the rubber and into the rail, no adhesives.

Cheers Nick, much appreciated. It must just be the missing beading on the outside causing my whistle.

The rail is too rusty to save. New one on order. £170 including the delivery and VAT! Having rebuilt pretty much the whole car you'd think I'd be used to the daylight robbery, but there's a couple of quids worth of monkey metal in this thing at most. Beggars belief.
