You need to cut off the part of the rubber that goes into the vertical channel and use felt, like it was from the factory. Thanks for the tip; hopefully I won't screw it up! | | | Re: '76 Chevy window channels are so tight I can barely move the windows | Joined: Sep 2016 Posts: 51 journeyman | journeyman Joined: Sep 2016 Posts: 51 | Lots of cursing and smoke breaks | | | Re: '76 Chevy window channels are so tight I can barely move the windows | Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 68 journeyman | OP journeyman Joined: Oct 2016 Posts: 68 | I gave up and removed all of the rubber. There's no way it was ever going to work with even a little bit of rubber in the assembly.

Also... how do you keep the window glass attached to the regulator? Mine has become loose from all of this fitting and removal. Glue? Silicone?

A buddy of mine recently replaced his using the fuzzy side of 1" self-adhesive Velcro tape and it worked perfectly. | | | Re: '76 Chevy window channels are so tight I can barely move the windows | Joined: Sep 2016 Posts: 51 journeyman | journeyman Joined: Sep 2016 Posts: 51 | Great trick.

I used PU adhesive to hold the glass in the channel.
