Measurement of Glass In Window Channel

I should have taken photos of my old glass before I removed it from the window channels. Now, I am installing new glass and want to get it right the first time. I remember the glass went past the end of the channel shown in the photo by about 1/8" - 3/16".

Could I get someone to please take a picture and get a measurement of the glass installed? I would really appreciate it.

Once everything is installed in the door and working I lift up on the glass and lay a bead of windshield urethane in the track , set the glass in and roll up the window check fit and seal all around and let it sit over nite , it finds its own "happy place " and works everytime for me

Re: Measurement of Glass In Window Channel

Thanks Grumpy. Right now the doors do not have any of the channel fuzzies or vent window assemblies installed. The vent windows are new and they do have the fuzzies in them.

Do you think I could install everything into the door as if the glass was glued in, then roll the glass up far enough to be able to lift it and put in the urethane? Will the glass be high enough to be able to lay the urethane?

Thanks,
POP

Thanks Rob. That helps a lot. I believe I can get the glass urethaned in real close to this and then roll the window up good and tight
