After getting the regulator fixed yesterday, I took the hardtop door window to a couple of auto glass shops. The first, a shop I have used before, told me that the are no longer in the auto glass business but gave me that card for their old auto glass tech.
The second shop I visited said that they haven't seen a window assembly like I was holding since the late 1990s and recommended a local muscle car shop that got a few minutes of fame on one of the later seasons of Fast & Loud. Plus I was told that no one carried the cork strip necessary to reseat the window. I could call/visit other shops but a lot of them are in the windshield repair/replace business now.
So here I am with a loose in the frame passenger door window from a 62 hardtop, from my experience with local shops and Studebaker, I'm on my own again. I can probably get the window out of the frame and salvage the 60 year old cork but what would I use to "glue" it back together again as a make due fix? trim cement? Gorilla glue? epoxy?

I might need about twelve foot for both door windows, now to figure out the necessary tape thickness from the 60 year old original setting tape.
