Never dealt with such an issue, but it would seem to me that if the door glass was from a post car that it would also be less wide as it has the frame on the side for the post also. I believe there are adjustable stops for the door glass that may need to be raised up if that is something that you haven't checked yet. Or perhaps a member here has a '65 apart and can give measurements of glass for comparison to verify you have the correct glass with the car or not. Just my 2 cents.

I've run into this exact problem on a 63 Catalina using a convertible door on a Hdtp body. The door bolts on the hardtop body just fine, but the window is roughly an inch too short to meet the top. I just swapped windows to fix the problem.

Yeah....about an inch seems to be what I'm missing. This car seems to be pieced-together. I wish there was a chart that would show dimensions of the door glass.

So here's what's up....obviously theres a HUGE difference between whats in the 65 that I'm working on and what originally came from the factory. The factory glued the window into a U-shaped channel (sash). The car I'm working on has 3 holes in the bottom of the window, and, the sash is a two-piece unit with bolts clamping the sash to the glass. I guess I'll just "slice off" the top of the sash so that when the window is rolled up, its not sticking out of the door!
