Absolutely! I was thinking about after seeing what you did and the pics that illustrated it.
Assembly lines back then didn't have robots that repicate an action exactly and perfectly every time (and don't get tired). I just assumed that everything would be done to "spec" like now.
BTW, my window looks just like yours did before you fixed it so I wouldn't be surprised if I have the same problem.
Thanks!

THEN, with some help from a buddy, Mike Coletta, we determined that the door post vertical extension deep in the door was twisted (God only knows how). We bent it as much as we dared and got it close but the final solution was to weld two 'nubs' on the back to '****' it back the right way. Put everything back together, fixed the fiberglass and the molding fits like factory now !
