I've been working on this for a while and am at the point where I need a few other folks to try this out on their cars to see how it fits and works.

It's a two piece kit that you can install with the window still in the car, you just need to take off the inner door panel and the front weather strip cap to install it. Tools required are hex keys, masking tape, and a Sharpie marker. 

I don't know how this will fit on early 68 cars, as they had a slightly different setup for the window channel.

So for now I'm looking for two volunteers with 69-70 cars with floppy windows that would be willing to give this a try and report back on how it works in the next few weeks. Then I can make any changes needed and make a bunch of these up for sale.

If you would like to give this a try and can do it pretty soon as noted above please PM me and I'll send you out one of the kits, no cost to you of course.

Thanks!

Darn I wish there was a cheap way to ship to Canadia. I think we'll probably have to focus on folks in the USA as I can ship this stuff to them for just $3. 

Sorry about that!

Thanks JJ. Do you think you could give us some feedback within the next few weeks or so? Here's the kit parts:



In the upper left is a new front travel stop with bolt and washer, then at upper right is a little tool used to hold the bushing from the swing arm so you can sand it down a little bit, and then at the bottom is the swing arm stabilizer that goes into the curved channel.

Thanks! I've been wanting to figure this out for decades and finally spent the time to do it.

I've also got new window rollers for the 68-70 AMX & Javelin in the works, these are 0.014" thicker than the originals and take alot of slop out of the rear portion of the window. Right now I'm revising my mold design as currently about 50% don't come out perfect, so I'm tossing alot in the trash. Once I have that situation resolved I'll cast a bunch of them and make them available to everyone.

I'm willing to give it a try too, but not sure I can get it done within two weeks, going to be gone for ten days beginning the 27th. I'm interested in anything that works to get the window more stable at the top of it's travel and so it doesn't pop out when at highway speed.

I intended to include those with the rollers, but haven't been able to find any supplier that makes a wave washer comparable to the originals. The closest ones apply 6-7 lbs of force at the roughly 0.060" of compression the we have, where the originals measure at only 3 lbs. I haven't installed any of the heavier washers to try it, but I'd expect them to wear the rollers faster and also I'd expect that the additional force expanding the rollers could make the windows noticeably harder to roll up and down.

The stock wave washers are:
  OD = 0.750"
  ID = 0.435"
  Thick = 0.010"

It really needs to be close to 0.750" OD to hold the rollers stable, though smaller OD gives lower loads. Almost everything I can find is 0.011" thick or thicker, so that's a big part of the problem. And many have a smaller ID than 0.435", so that adds more spring material, increasing the load.

I almost have to wonder if AMC didn't have those made specifically for this application. They would have needed hundreds of thousands of them, so it would have been no problem.

OK, I think I understand how to install the stabilizer kit,

I just am not sure how to remove the front door seal.. Especially the little plastic fasteners that hold

the outside of the seal in place, or how is it held to the door toward the inside. I don't want to damage that seal as I do not remember repops available.

Any advise on getting the little buttons out without breaking them?

Thanks

Sorry I didn't see this post until now - the forum notifications don't seem to be as reliable as they used to be.

On my car the weather strip comes up the front of the door and ends in a larger flat "cap" section. That section is held to the door with three or four push in fasteners that have heads like thumbtacks but expanded springy sections under the head.

Here's a pic of the fasteners, courtesy of Amark AMC parts:

So you can pry these up by the head and pull them out, then you should be able to peel back the rubber "cap" end of the weatherstrip. If it's been glued down you may need to go after it with a putty knife or similar to break the glue loose.

Did you try McMaster-Carr for the wave washers ? It's very possible the slightly thicker ones may work as the ones AMC used seemed to have relaxed rather quickly and were ineffective. Roller wear may not be an issue as long as the tracks are cleaned carefully of the old grease and dirt and then lightly lubed.

Yes, I searched many, many sources, including McMaster Carr, Grainger, Fasternal, MSC Direct, Century Spring, Associated Spring Raymond, M.D Hubbard, Lee Spring, and about 10 others.

I found that McMaster Carr, Grainger, and Fastenal all purchase their wave washers from Associated Spring Raymond, and they had a spring close to what we need so I ordered some of those in. Measured side by side, they work out to about 2 times the force of the original springs though.

What I found when I first made the rollers was that the slop in the roller/channel setup actually comes from the stock rollers being too small. It wouldn't matter how strong the springs are, as the roller design prevents them from spreading beyond about 0.060". At full expansion the stock rollers didn't reach the track on both sides, so that's the fundamental problem. I'm not sure if the originals shrank over time, or if they were always too small. But that's why I made my new ones each 0.014" thicker, so they would always contact the tracks.

Now that I have the drivers side window assembled, I can see that the spring between the rollers only compresses when the window is pulled in toward the car, so a stiffer spring wouldn't prevent outward movement of the window when it's rolled up. It would help when it's part way up though, definitely.

But I do worry about additional wear. As you mentioned, complete cleaning of the track would help prevent that. I found that mineral spririts works amazing to clean the tracks of old grease and dirt.

Good Morning All,

I had the oppertunity to install one of Chris's (AKA Greyhound AMX) stabilizer kits in my 70 Javelin.   This was a much easier task for me because the car is still being assembled and it does not have weather seals or interior door panels installed yet.  It was easy to install and follow the provided instructions.  The kit significantly reduced the play in the window.   Comparing it to the non retrofitted side you can really see the improvement.   I have asked Chris to put me on the list for 3 more kits.   Thank You Chris for taking the time to engineer and produce this product.  - JJ

Ok I have 10 sets of these ready to go, along with the revised instructions based on input from beta testers. I think it would would be good to send these out and get more input from people on how they work and if any modifications would help make them work better before I make up a bunch more.



I'd like $65 per a kit, which includes the parts needed to do the windows in both doors. I'd like to limit this to one kit per person for now, as that way we can get the most people involved in trying them out and well have the most feedback on any issues.

If you are going to be taking your windows out, you may want to also put in the thicker rollers I'm making, I have a few sets of those ready too for $40 per set. 



Shipping will be $4 in the USA. Eventually I'll have these out on ebay so Canadian folks etc. can purchase that way.

But if you have a 1968 car these may not fit. I'm trying to figure out exactly when they switched the design of the frontmost channel to include the travel stop at the top, as they are in the later style 1969 and 1970 cars. On some 1968 cars the travel stop is located about halfway down the on the second channel, so if you have that channel design this kit won't work for you as part of it uses the front travel stop. I will eventually make a version for the 1968 cars though, so hang in there.

You should be able to roll down your window all the way and look at the very front channel to see which style you have.

Great, I'll keep working on them and let you guys know when I get some kits ready. Right now my only enclosed 3d printer is giving me attitude so that's slowing things down a bit.

I've also finished up a new bit that I'll include in these kits, which is a spacer strip that we can use to help the weatherstrip and glass meet up better. On my car it appears that the arc of the stainless steel weatherstrip holder doesn't exactly match the arc of the window. So I made up these plastic strips that can be cut to length as needed and popped into the stainless part to help solve that. They only add about 0.052" thickness though, so we still have to get the window adjusted pretty darn close.

At first I made them snap in real tight, but then it was almost impossible to get them back out. So I made them a little sloppier fitting instead, that way it's possible to try them and take them out and shorten them, etc. In fact if you needed more thickness you could probably stack Gorilla tape on the spacer strip even. But once you get them where you want just put a dab of silicon on one of the tabs so it wont try to slide down at all. It can't come out due to the weatherstrip being in the way.

I figure we might need three of these per window, so I'll add six total to each of the full kits to cover both windows.

Ok Joe, I'll add you to the list.

What I've been learning lately is that the 1970 cars had a slightly different curve to the windows, and I can't imagine they'd have made that kind of change for any reason other than to improve sealing. That seems to align with my experiences, in that the 1970 AMX I worked on was much easier to get noise free on the highway than my 1968 or 1969 cars.

But as I mentioned a few posts back, I've worked out a little spacer strip that you can add in as needed to help push the weatherstrip toward the glass to make up for the mismatch in the curve of the glass versus the curve of the stainless weatherstrip holder. I'm including a bunch of those in each kit I send out.

I've got 4 kits ready to go now, so I'll start PMing folks on the list and get those shipping. More kits are in the works. 

I've also been working on the 1968 version, which really only needs adjustment of one part of the kit. Still I'm not 100% confident in the fitment as my car only has one 1968 door. I really would like to come up with a way to make it more adjustable but haven't come up with how to do that yet.

Hello Greyhound,

Well after about 12 versions I think I have something workable for the 1968 cars. There's no threaded hole in the top of the front channel like on the 1969 & 1970 cars, so I've concluded that the best way to retain it is to just glue it in place. Nice and simple.

Here's what it ended up looking like:



And here it is glued into the front channel with some RTV. You can see the rub marks where the metal "shoe" that carries the glass bumps up against it.



The downside is that it's not adjustable, but really the spacing from the channel to the shoe carrying the glass should be the same on all of the cars. There's bound to be some tolerance from car to car, so it might take a little hand filing to get a good fit on some cars.

This part supports the glass laterally at roughly the height of the beltline weatherstrip, and there's another part in the kit that grabs the swinging arm in the second channel to brace the window down low. That's the same for all of the cars, only this front lateral support had to change for the 1968 cars.

So if you're interested in a kit shoot me a private message and I'll get you on the list. The kits are $100 + $6 shipping and include everything to do both doors, including the thicker rollers for the rear window channel.

I finally got a writeup on the spacer strips put together, so for those of you that were wondering what to do with those this should help. They pop into the stainless weatherstrip channel and push the weatherstrip just a little bit out toward the glass.

Yes just PM him. Works great, way more tight likely then when new. I have to re adjust my window again, after installing I could not get it up and in as far with all the up and in adjustments, but have not had time to work on it. Hoping I can get it as tight as it was before with more adjusting.

Well, it looks like it'll be a few more weeks on the stabilizer kits, as the polyurethane resin I use to mold the rollers isn't behaving properly. I think the resin may have absorbed moisture from the air in the container, hard to say. I've order new supplies though and will be back at it soon.

Sorry for the delay guys - I'll keep you posted.

***  POSSIBLE PROBLEM ISSUE FOUND WITH 69-70 KITS ***

We just had an issue with the kit fitment on a 69 car, where the socket head cap screw that holds the new front travel stop was too long and contacted the door sheet metal when tightened, damaging the door. This only happened on one side of the car, not both, so it must be related to the location of the window channels in the door, which evidently can vary alot from car to car.

IF YOU HAVE ONE OF MY 69-70 KITS AND HAVEN'T INSTALLED IT YET PLEASE HOLD OFF ON INSTALLING IT

I'm going to revise the front travel stop a little and optimize the front screw length so that when installed the screw can't protrude beyond the channel, that way there can never be an issue. I'll send out new parts to everyone with the 69-70 kits that I can identify from my PM box.

This isn't an issue on the 68 kit as the front channel setup and front travel stop are completely different.

Sorry for the trouble everyone, hopefully we can catch this early and prevent hurting anyone's cars.

, I've made good progress on the revised 69-70 front travel stop and retaining screw setup. Now I'm working on a little tool that holds the screw for installation, and after test fitting the thing 10 times or so I must say that the little tool is a life saver. I hope to have the revised parts shipping out to folks next weekend.

The tip of the socket head cap screw protrudes out of the captive nut on the channel by just one thread now. I've also revised the design to use a spacer in the middle (item 10 below) to allow tweaking the thickness. I'll include both 1/16" and 1/32" spacers so people can mix and match as needed. I'm also going to send along a second flat washer to put under the screw in the even that you use no spacers at all, because with no spacers the tip of the screw would protrude past the nut further. Adding another washer would resolve that.

Hi Chris, I just happened to come across your post for the stiffener kit for the 68 & 70 AMX door windows. If available, I would like to purchase a kit for each door. I would also like to get the rollers for the guide channels, the ones with the wave washer. Please let me know. I just pulled the glass and shoes from the left door and was searching the forum for ideas on where to get the split rollers for the guide channels.

Thanks 
Ron
