71 quarter glass install problems...

Anyone have a factory diagram of how the quarter glasses install on the 71 Plymouth B-bodies? I got the glass on the two "front tracks" and have the linkage that raises and lowers the window in the slide track. However the linkage that raises and lowers the window has the large hole on the end where it appears to connect to the track or window. The track or window has what looks like a pivot shaft but there is nothing, I see, that connect the two that would allow for the window to raise or lower? Any idea?

I don't have diagram and haven't messed with it for a couple years, but heres a pic of an extra one that I have. Maybe someone else here will chime in, but I think the regulator is secured by 6 bolts to car and then the plastic slide goes into the channel thats mounted to the inside of the window well.

Thanks! Can you remove the silver nut with black grommet and post a picture of what it looks like up close? I need to locate one. Also need to figure out what all is there...like bolt, grommet, and if there is a spring or any other spacer?

Do you have the white plastic piece (closest to you in 2nd pic) attached to anything? It should be in a chanel part that is attached to the car on the inside of the window area. That piece is pictured in first pic to the left of window (by itself).

Yes I have the white plastic slider. It slid into the channel without problems . Just could not figure out the other end and looking it over (since I was missing hardware) it appeared the large open end attached to another spot on the track or body. But now I can see where it mounts just need to find the hardware. And figure out what all hardware is missing.

You might need to take your window back out and compare to picture, I think everything is there. Not sure if you are working on driver or passenger side.

Passengers side....I was planning to pull everything back apart tomorrow while I am out at the shop. I am 90% sure that I am missing the one bolt and spacer. I found a spring inside the quarter panel and was curious if it belonged to the missing hardware. I will get it figured out....

This? Or do you need the square piece too. (If you found the spring, I would double check that area for the bolt if you dont find it PM me)
