The windows in my tudor rattle when they're rolled down; I see C&G offer door glass bumpers; I don't believe they came with the car originally, but have any of you tried these "bumpers?"

Just spoke to C&G and found out my door glass is suppose to be 1/4" thick, mine isn't & that's why it rattles. Further UPDATE: just measured glass & it's 1/4". This message was edited by Flatbob on 11-22-14 @ 10:09 AM

It will be interesting to determine -- now if your glass is replacement glass (as of within the last 10 years) your 1/4 inch is really a metric size. The vast majority of glass created these days is in metric thicknesses. Why? Dont know, but your house window glass is. I found this out when I wanted to replace a plate glass in a display cabinet that I own. Got the glass cut, installed it, and the frame it fit in was too big. Yup, metric thickness glass. This is not meant to mean that companies that currently sell V-8 replacement glass are selling metric sizes, it just is to explain another thing you have to watch out for.

Just got a tip from another '36 owner, and it looks like I don't have the garnish moulding pushed in far enough on the bottom, door panel and the decorative moulding that fits under the garnish is holding it out. May have to eliminate the extra garnish to get it to fit.

The rubber bumpers in the garnish moldings came on the early 35's. If you have early moldings they will be slotted for the bumpers which are about 2" long.
