Repairing the under glass window lifter channels

This video shows how to repair the under glass side window lifter channels on Sunbeam Alpine sports cars using angle iron and flat bar. The result is actually smoother than the original runner was.

We make no claim to be professional mechanics, this video is simply the record of what we did on an Alpine of ours when the channel had rusted away to nothing and we were unable to get a replacement.
