I got some rear glass run channel from Victor Zamora for my 51 Hollywood. I am having a rough time making it fit. Seems to be too wide by about 1/8" When I force it in the leading edge closes up. Making the glass not want to fit. Can anybody help with some free advice. It is also differe:confused:nt in height. Has anybody else had this problem with a Hollywood ??

    FYI- I bought a complete set channel up for my 52 coupe from Vic at the Western Regional meet. I had all new solex flat glass installed and the window channeling aswell by A&E Bros. glass in Lomita, Ca. Turned out beautiful. Thanks Vic!

    Thanks Vic!! That helps some. I think what has to happen is cloth comes off the sides and glue along the bottom edge about 3/16" from bottom. That will give you all metal again to slide up in channel on car. It is still a little tight. However once you have it in. You can use that paint brush to open somewhat if it is tight on the window.

    Thanks Vic !!



    P.S. I will kept an eye out for the replacement channel your sending me.

    Thanks again
