@@lcwatts2971 If all your plugs are in place and there's still a rattle I would pull the door panel off and tighten everything down. Look for loose parts. Check your window scraper too. Also, if the window can pivot on the guide rail the parts could be worn out. Easiest solution is to turn up the radio!
Great video! Love the detail and explanation, it's exactly at the right level. Videos like this will be invaluable to me as I restore my 68 next year. Thanks for the effort and quality!
Thank you for the encouragement! When you solo produce a video AND work on a car everything takes twice as long... not to mention the time to edit. Comments like this keep me going!
Thanks for posting this up, calm, succinct and tidy - my '71's driver's door is feeling it's age and needs refurbishment - but having seen this I will wait for your next video on alignment++ before deciding to tackle it myself or having a more worthwhile discussion with a 3rd party - tvm again.
You're welcome! Alignment depends on many factors. If body work was done or heater channels replaced, is the body and door opening in a factory position? Are the hinges sagging? Does the gap need to be taken up by adjusting the body to pan rubber wedges? There are also plates behind the A-Pillar that slide up and down and in and out to adjust the position of the hinges. It's definitely a two-person job to avoid scratching the paint or dropping the door.
Dude, you da man! This really helped me replace my bung hole plugs! 🤣
Seriously, thanks!
Thank you! Perhaps you need more fiber in your diet?!
@@PetesGhias ...probably wouldnt hurt! 😂
Is there any other part within the door that would keep the glass from rattling in the down position?
