After stripping over 100 doors to shells, it is easy to see, but if you haven't taken many apart, it may be difficult to understand and equally difficult for me to explain it.

I think you also have another piece to the solution. I agree as this make a lots sense giving the glass more meat in the channel would help the stabalize the glass when partially up or down.
