Hi Jack - My drivers side is lightly scratched due to the rusted felt as you indicate. I spent several hours this week trying to get the driver"s door window to go back up on its own.There is a lot of adjusting needed in different places, it is tricky.I need to do a test to see what the current draw is. The bind seems to come from the center strip that has the rollers.I tried adjusting in different ways, got it close but still not enough to get it up all the way (woops - I just left myself wide open for a Spohn-taneous Bill comment). It is weird to see the brass (?) channel at the door bottom.

I have that problem on the passenger side glass, the result of an old, rusted felt strip. I would agree that reproduction, at this point, might be an option (although probably expensive).

I talked to Al Cortese some time ago about his 2+2. Other than a missing side window (good luck finding one, which is the same as, "forget about it") it sounded decent. He sent loads of information to me, which I no longer have, but it may be worth pursuing if anyone wants a 2+2. BTW, someday, someone"s going to have to break down and do a repro run of side glass. Most of these cars look like a sabre-tooth tiger sharpened his claws on the windows.
