1/4 glass window channel....

On my search for mk1 doors (3 door) noticed that some had a short window channels. (Between 1/4 glass and winding glass..)

Both my chanels are long. Is it possible to cut them down a few cm before pop rivet at bottom of door, will winder still work and glass stay in place??

I want to fill pop rivet hole at bottom of door, i think that it promotes rot to lower door.   :?

When I restored my GTI I used some doors from an A-Reg Driver 1300. There where lots of detail difference between original GTI doors and the ones from the Driver, you?d think they were from different cars!

I can?t remember now whether I swapped parts between doors or kept the bits with the doors that they came with. I would prefer the long fixing that goes to the bottom of the door, holds the glass better and makes the door slightly stronger.

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
