beyond frustrated- i am going to have to source a replacement assembly with a good adjuster- anyone have one send my way cheap or free??
spent the better part of the last 4 hours trying to get the doors done. unable to complete because the drivers door bottom adjuster nut that is attached to the front track that also holds the triangle window was rusted bad and snapped off- second was , before that happened being unable to get triangle glass seal in(too long) and down enough so could not get door to shut. pulled it all back out and now i cant decide how to proceed! Attached thumbnail(s)

You just need this bolt/nut combo correct?
 Might need a little PB Blaster to get it loose but it'll work. PM me your address if it's what you need. |

PM me your address if it's what you need. yes, but the back side nut is attached to the track- i dont think the bracket comes off it is riveted to the track, i bent the bracket even after pb blaster! then it cam off the track and the screw was still stuck in the nut! i really messed it up- i think i will need a while new track that has a good bracket and nut/screw thats not rusted on tight- i suppose theis is a NLA part? |

Last I checked, the tracks were plentiful at places like EASY. Trick was finding a good candidate without deep scratches and sending it to be redone in proper ano-brite finish (polished then clear anodized). I would think there is some way to get the bolt/stud off? Those are out there for sure... |
