The Rubber Do-Dad. My 1965 Coupe built on February 2nd, 1965 has the same rubber stopper as show in the video. I thought I had lost the L-Brackets that are more common and was losing my mind looking for them. When I saw this video, I remembered mine was set up with just the rubber stoppers. On the plates where the L-Brackets would be installed, mine showed no signs (dirt, bolt marks, etc.) of ever having been there. With over 500,000 vehicles produced that year, the rubber stopper was probably a backup option if there was a shortage of L-Brackets. I'm reinstalling my Quarter Windows next week and if the rubber stopper doesn't do it's job, I'll hunt down the L-Brackets and proper bolts. They can be found (used) online for a reasonable price.
Great channel guys. Can someone direct me on doing this to a 1969 Mustang 302. Glass is glued in. I don't see the same screws on the panel. Does the seat also need to come out. First time I'm diving into this stuff, with guidance from folks like yourselves, I know I can do it!
That rubber doo-dad and the j-nut that were in the track that you figured might not be factory? My '66 had those too, in exactly the same position from what I can tell. I have one on each side, but because it had been over a year since I took the quarter windows out, I couldn't quite remember where it went or how it installed. Now I know! Thanks.
LOL. We wonder if that was a "line expedience" at the factory. We thought it was pretty neat as a solution. Though it didn't seem to let the glass go down far enough. There "should" be an L bracket bolted to the slide assembly. The factory lads could be quite innovative and that might have been an solution when the L brackets ran out.
silly101963 yes, they're used in the rear track as a second stop. The bushings themselves cross to a power steering hardware part according to the MPAC book I have.
Where's the install video? Did you end up not making one? I guess I can reinstall in the reverse order of this video. Thanks for posting the video, I did take these windows out about 30 yrs ago, and I'm going to be installing them soon.
Honestly, I'm not sure. Some cars I've had they roll some they don't. I'd try some fine machine oil on them to see if they become more mobile. To me it makes sense that they would need to roll.
@@AutoRestoMod some of the rollers on my 68 Coupe have a white plastic washer about 2-3 ml thick and about 180ml diameter (about same diameter as the roller) plus a wave washer but on NPD parts list these are not listed with the roller and rivet. Are these parts not available or maybe they are not necessary.
Quick question. I have a 66, all the parts for the quarter window, but no hardware. I have yet to find a kit that includes the bolts for the regulator, etc. Does it exist?
We are planning to tuck into the '64 Hardtop Falcon we have in the shop soon. Family health issues with Jeffs folks have kept us from really diving into the car lately. We have some big plans for the little hardtop. BUT to answer your question, if the car is a hardtop, the winders are quite unique and have a "down and back" roll to them unlike the Mustang. The tracks look like a roller coaster. Would love to know how they came up with that track run. LOL. The sedan quarter windows would be more similar to the Mustang shown but you would be dealing with the window frames.
I have a '67 convertible. The track has 2 riveted stops on the bottom, so you can't slide the track out, or the window since there is a stop riveted on the top as well. Any suggestions?
You have probably already figured this out by now but maybe it will help someone else in the future. For 67 and 68 there are 2 bolts that hold stoppers attached to the window assembly. There is one for full up and one for full down. The hit on that riveted stopper. I was able to remove these and pull the window up out of the slider through the dust boot.
Hi I want to buy a 1965 Mustang convertible, and I wanted to know does it have power steering and brakes, because I could not find it in specs of the 1st generation, so do they originaly come with these?
The early Mustang was designed to be "optioned by the owner" so power steering and power brakes were available new. However, the 1965 and '66 Mustang were not available with power disc brakes. Power drum brakes were available or discs but not teamed. up. We'd recommend going disc on the front and upgrading to a dual reservoir master cylinder just for safety sake. We did an install on the excellent Stainless Steel Brake kit that mimics the original stuff perfectly.

Good show guys. Keep on going!
Thanks, off to the garage to do this job, very helpful
Glad it helped

my 66 had them also..every 66 i have looked at has them.

Episode 278 is an adjustment of that glass (see below). The install is a reverse of the removal. ruclips.net/video/kZ7NznXEXkw/видео.html
Can you remove just the glass and pot metal frame with out removing the regulator and track?
Hi Guys great Videos did you made the video on the fixing and install
ruclips.net/video/kZ7NznXEXkw/видео.html Hope this helps!
@@AutoRestoMod Thanks for your reply keep up the great work
Do you guys know the part numbers for the three bushings on the bottom of the glass frame assembly? Thanks for the videos, they're a tremendous help!
My 66 has both the round stop on the back and the L bracket on the front of the quarter glass
Just FYI - I have two of those rubber bushing window stops for my 1966. So I think they are factory - :-)
@ 8:20 - YES, my '65 has those runner bushing window stops as well.
Thank you! Are you going to show how its assembled??
We'll show alignment of the glass next week.
Are the 3 large rollers on the 1/4 window meant to roll or were they designed to slide within the track as opposed to rolling along the track
Honestly, I'm not sure. Some cars I've had they roll some they don't. I'd try some fine machine oil on them to see if they become more mobile. To me it makes sense that they would need to roll.
@@AutoRestoMod thank you for the prompt response, great video content on your site.

Not that we know of. Those were special bolts. We'd recommend contacting AMK fasteners about them: 540-662-7820.
Don't ask me how to get in back in I don't know how it came out 😂 story of my career!
Lol
do you have any 64 falcon videos? and is the window regulators typical for my 64 as in this video?

Literally having the same exact problem right know. Let me know if u get it figured out
I haven't done any other year models. Sorry. I can ask Larry to look at it on Monday...

Thank you!
I’ve got that same stop on one side of my 66. At its lowest position, it still holds the glass up about 2” higher than the other stop.....
Can you send pictures to Jford@autorestomod.com ?
Me too on my 66. Exactly the same. Only on the driver side. Not sure why. Has the other down stop too.
You guys gotta get some 65/66 galaxie how to videos in here
We'd love to do some Galaxie stuff!
That would be awesome if you did.
good info
Cutest gay couple I’ve ever seen! Fabulous and informative!
Takes one to know one!
Where is the install video?
ruclips.net/video/kZ7NznXEXkw/видео.html
WTB 1 of 1 Mustang with rare rubber quarter window stop. Heard it adds 15 HP stock. HMU
(SARCASM - DONT ACTUALLY DM ME)
I laugh but I just went out to my 65 coupe and it has them too.
With the super rare "moon crater" chrome trim. It adds $40,000 to the value of the vehicle.
my 66 does also ;) must have been a thing ford did for a while.
