It really depends on what you want to accomplish. The problem, as best
as I can determine, is essentially rolling an arched window up an arched
door with a straight line regulator. The reason the alternative method
(Tanner and Hoffman) works is likely because it does not grab as much
window, grabs it lower and what it does grab is grabbed flexibly. The
rest of the needed "give" is a combination of the tolerances in the
window channels, the flex in the rollers and the roller channel, and the
angle that the window is set in the u shaped joint. I frankly think
that the issue is really the design of the door and the glass vis a vis
the fact that regulators were meant to go straight up and down or to
arch in a much more gradual curve. Just imagine the angle that the base
of the window is at when it is all the way down compared to all the way
up (or, when you have the window out, just look at the curve of it for
an approximation). Good luck in a search for a different method, but
without much re-engineering of the basic system, the search may be
fruitless. Of course, YMMV. Kim
