Three squarebody questions

Did all of the 73-87 squares have the same thickness door glass?I have a real thin one that came from somewhere.
I noticed on both sides of my 85 the lower rear bed wheel well was loose at the bottom. How was they secured at the factory?
Does all window sashes have a loose metal strip?I have 4 and they all have a loose strip.How to you repair it?

The only one I can answer is that the rear wheel opening on the bed has a brace that stiffens it up. About 5/16" round stock with flattened ends with a bolt hole drilled in them. Yours is obviously missing.

I have that round brace in front of the rear wheels.Are you sure there is supposed to be one on the rear behind tires?I got a couple more squares and they are secure without rod brace on rear.

I aint talking about wheel well trim being loose. If you grab the rear lower bedside behind the wheel well trim you can move it back and forth.

Yours appears to be missing the about 6"x6" metal piece that serves as a rear wheel well mud flap. It uses two bolts along the top and one of the holes you can see grass through in your pic. There was a thread a few weeks ago about those.

No clue on the window questions.

Sorry for the wrong info on the support brace. Mine is on the front, not rear.

Here is a pic of mine. No movement on the outer sheet metal.
