Side Window Help

I am trying to get the side windows in my 55. I have the one piece kit from Vintage Glass. ( Some may remember my thoughts about them.) But I do have the drivers side in and it will roll up and down pretty good. My problem is the glass wont enter the wheatherstrip far enough. I have all of the adjustment up on the regulator. The glass doesn't set all the way down in the channel after I got the tape in so that actually helps my problem. Does anyone know how long ( Tall ) the glass is supposed to be? My thoughts are the glass may be too short.
Thanks

The original glass was 18 3/4 " tall. You might have to split your upper felt to allow the window to go up high enough, I've heard of that being done. Hopefully somebody with experience with one piece glass will comment.
