Cheers Jim, you’re a star After 4 hours tonight ive had to move the vertical guide about ¾ inch further back at the top, which in turn led to the electric window motor being repositioned as well, but only to line up with the passenger side, if the builder had made them equal rather than just so it wouldn’t have been necessary
The net result of tonight’s going on have seen all the above and the need to re-mitre the vertical guide top, the csk screw has been replaced and re-drilled and this has left me with door glass that now sits further (and more level) up at the front edge than it did before and more equal to the passenger side, however the glass now contacts the csk screws nut, only just and if I force it up a bit more (I came close to loosing my rag so a bit of brute force is nothing LOL) I can get the glass to pass the nut just behind and the glass sits spot on, but the glass’s front edge corner is bearing against the nut, ive a horrible feeling I may have to re-drill it slightly further forwards and bend the little wiggly bit further back to move the nut further back, however this will leave the hockey stick looking like Swiss cheese I may bong stainless on inside as you suggest then fill the holes with black gel coat, unless anyone can think of a way to decrease the nut protrusion without resorting to more drilling Still on the upside it’s keeping me busy : ) Cheers On Aug 24, 8:45 am, "Jim Hearne" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Jin, > There were supplied undrilled and longer than required. > There have been at least 3 variations of where the hocky stick meets the > glass and soft top. > The last and most leak free version has the glass going through a slot cut > in the end of the hockey stick and bedding into the grooved rubber seal on > the door pillar. > Be careful if you do this as the hockey stick can crack between the CSK > screw hole and the end of the slot. > Best thing is to bond a small piece of stainless steel sheet inside the > hockey stick with filler to spread the load, redrill the hole through that > as well. > > Getting the door insides done on the 2+2 was the worst job on the kit, i > actually gave up on my quantum build for 6 months or more after i spent > several weekends trying to get everything to line up. > > Best advice is make everything adjustable that you can, and expect to have > to slot the holes for the lower guide fixings a lot on the door inner > panels. > When i finished moving everything around i scribed round the big washers on > the guide fixings onto the door inner panel, then filled in all the slots > i'd made with fibreglass filler. > Then line the washer up onto the scribe marks and redrill just the one hole > required. > > Jim > > -------------------------------------------------- > From: "jin" <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 7:17 AM > To: "Quantum Owners Group" <[email protected]> > Subject: [Quantum Owners] not so jolly "hockey sticks" > > > > > Hi guys > > Quick question (ish), > > Were the front "hockey sticks" glass surrounds sections supplied from > > Quantum undrilled for the M4 csk screw that secures them to the > > vertical glass guide? > > > Basically the one on my driver s side is 15mm further forwards than > > the passenger side resulting in the glass sitting lower at the front > > edge in relation to the passenger side which has lead to some funny > > looking creases in the soft top fabric trying to close the gap - and > > deep breath > > > cheers for any info, i just want to eliminate any other potential > > factors as to why these 2 vertical supports are out of line other than > > the original builder just drilling the holes wrong > > > Cheers > > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > > "Quantum Owners Group" group. > > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > > [email protected] > > For more options, visit this group at > >http://groups.google.com/group/quantumowners?hl=en > > > IMPORTANT NOTE: All information presented herewith is provided on an "As > > Is" basis, without warranty or the implication thereof.
