Default Info on 68 door and window / guide needed

Hello, I must be missing some pieces to guide the windows on my 68 conv. They really rattle side to side. Does anyone know where i might be able to view ON LINE the breakdown of the door window parts and operation.
Thanks

If you have one the AIM is great. It sounds like your missing the anti-rattle pads. There are two per door. Look them up at an on-line catalog and you'll see what I mean......that is if a '68 is the same as my '71.

These are 68 and I believe they are complete.

The anti rattle pads started in 69, on the 68 the inner and outer felts were supposed to prevent the window from rattling and are adjustable.

Hi



Replacing the felt strips makes a hell of a difference to this windows.
They get really tight.
