I think I nailed it.

I finally had to go back to my old geometry knowledge. when rotationally adjusting, envision where the window is secured and how it rotates around that secured spot. At least it helped me on the final little bit of adjustments. IOW, if you move the rear upper window stop down, the window will rotate the top to the rear (and lower) and the front bottom of the window to the front (and up). I think that's right ... lol. I may be confused too. Ogre
I think 1969 is a bit different than all the other years on the driver window mechanism. Not sure if it's any more or less complicated though. It did take a while to learn what moves what and figure out the best order to do it. Same on the rear windows. Once I went to the passenger side, it went much faster. Still took a while on the door but the quarter window went very fast.

I've been working on the side windows now for over 2 weeks and it seems like forever. But, I've only worked on it maybe a couple of hours per day during this time. If I had to guess, I'd say it's taken me 20 hours or so.
