Can someone please tell me how to drop the rear window in my 67 fastback so I can install my new weather striping...And the front also..I can get to all but the one directly behind the vent window...I even took out the two bolts that hold it in...am I missing something here???...Thanks Scott

Not sure about 67, but just replaced window channel liner and window beltliner on my 61. I had to remove all of the windows which required removing door panels first. While apart I removed all of the old and dry dirty grease from the regulators and rollers and regreased. Once your panels are off, you will be able to see all of the bolts required to remove what you need. In my case, without removing the interior panels, there is no way I could have replaced the channel liner or beltliner.

🔧 lesson learned,, the back ended up being easier than I made it out to be.However I still can't the front door ..I can't see what's holding it in place behind the vent window.

In order to remove the vent window you must remove the vent wondow regulator and the pinch bolt to the vent window assembly. The 2 bolts ar 5/16 (1/2 in socket) and the pinch bolt is 1/4" (7/16 socket) There is also 2 nuts that hold and adjust the angle of the chanel that need to be removed(both the nuts and the studs they are attached to. If you need more help you can call me at 772-215-0280, Kevin

Thanks Kevin,,I got the drivers side all done..wow this can be a pain.
I've adjusted my window and my door but it doesn't seem to seal as good along the roof line as I would expect.Maybe I've done something wrong??
And after dealing with the door panels, there's nothing to them..mine are shoddy..I'm thinking that I could make some nice ones at a fraction of the price as new..or if someone on this forum does interior work..
