As I have said before my 55 was completely disassembled by a body shop which for the most part is now out of business ( i still have use of the shop)
I got the motor in and getting the wiring done.
The door shells have been painted and I now have to install the window mechanisms in doors. ( doors are not hung on car )
Does anyone have any diagrams pictures or instructions on how to install them? I'm pretty sure I have all the parts. I seen the diagrams in the Hills book.
I would appreciate any assistance that you could provide.

Window are manual not power

For what is worth I just removed mine yesterday. Here are some images I have now that glass is out the glass is mounted to the B21459A Drivers side. The rollers which there are two have a pin release as shown mount the B21459 on the window glass put the two rollers on each of the rail glide. If the side rails are already in place insert the glass thru the door leaning the glass towards the interior. Roller mounted on the bottom window glide goes into rear vertical rail. Rotate glass clockwise for drivers side and counter clockwise for passenger side. Lower into door. If the regulator isn’t installed do this before the above steps.
However on mine there were additional mounting bolts at the bottom of the door for the regulator that were not shown nor described anywhere. These are 7/16” and they are near the bottom below the regulator. There is one in a recessed small rectangular indent and the other is in the hole that is just to the upper right of this one.
Once you have regulator in place then follow the insert of glass. On the arms of the regulator there are two arms with pins position the rollers and pry the arms back and insert the pins into the rollers. The. Close the pins on the rollers.

hope this little bit of information is helpful.
Good luck!
