      Oh ok I see the wheel in the channel now. That makes things a little simpler. But after looking into it a little more I’ve encountered another problem. One of the black guides for the glass is broken. Can these parts still be found or am I SOL?

      cutlass wheel fitment

      By GnatGoSplat · Posted

      18x8 +42 with 5mm spacer = +37.  Needed spacers to clear the front calipers, and I didn't want the rear to look more tucked than the front, so I put spacers on the rear just to match.  Your tires would stick out 7mm more than mine if you go for 245-wide.

      I've done this on an '88, you don't have to remove the glass.  Just put something over the window frame and tape the glass up.  The lift arm has a wheel that rolls horizontally in a channel.  Once you've got the regulator loose, you can move the lift arm far enough to the side that the wheel will come out of the channel and the regulator will be completely loose in the door. Monte looks a little different. https://charm.li/Chevrolet/1995/Monte Carlo V6-204 3.4L DOHC VIN X SFI/Repair and Diagnosis/Windows and Glass/Windows/Window Regulator/Service and Repair/Window Regulator/Regulator/

      Discoloration never even occurred to me.  I don't think it's discoloring in the Cutlass yet. Yeah, I strongly suspect heat also plays a big part.  It's been garaged over 24-years, thought it did spend ~10 hours a day during the Spring/Summer/Fall out in full sun for 19 of those years.  It was 100% outdoors for 8+ years before that.  I don't know if that's enough cumulative UV to cause this kind of vinyl decomposition.  My garage does get really hot in the summer though.  About 10-degrees over ambient, 15-20 if I've driven any of the cars, as the hot engine makes the garage even hotter.  I've seen rubber belts in VCRs and cassette decks literally turn to black goo when stored in a hot garage, and that kind of equipment almost never sees sunlight. Seriously thinking maybe I need to install a mini split in my garage.
