traveller side windows

Well its here at last. I am off to garage tomorrow for MOT. Its been 6 months of hard work but worthwhile.So now can anyone tell me how do you fit the side windows in? Do I have to pin or glue the window runners in place? Do the window runners go up each end as well?
Cheers Dave

traveller radiator

Hi all
I took the radiator off my traveller to flush everything out.Plenty of muck inside. The reason I thought I would do this is it appears the radiator is getting hot at the top but still cool lower down. Does anyone know why this happens
Many thanks Dave
