[DeTomaso] Window door channels replacement

[Rob Dumoulin]

On my early model (1488), I found that the lower sections could be removed
without any degradation. It stopped all binding at the lower end of the
glass movement. Later, I replaced the regulator with the cable drive system
and the windows work twice as fast like the car is brand new.

   On my early model (1488), I found that the lower sections could be
   removed without any degradation. It stopped all binding at the lower
   end of the glass movement. Later, I replaced the regulator with the
   cable drive system and the windows work twice as fast like the car is
   brand new.A

     Is this correct or are they supposed to be one continuous piece?
     As they are configured now it is certainly possible to replace the
     lower
     ones with window in up position and possibly even upper ones with
     window il
     down position.
     I am just not sure if this is correct or they are supposed to be
     continuous?

     Hi, I am about to replace all the door window channels and whiskers
     as my
     channels are completely deteriorated.
     I found good tutorials on "pantera-place" for replacing the
     whiskers, but
     could not find much on the channel guides.
     If there is a link, please if you could share.
     How much dis-assembling is it necessary; any chance of installing
     new
     channel guides and whiskers without removing the windows?
     If it is necessary to remove the windows, is there online tutorial
     on the
     process?
     Thanks a lot, Robert
