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!

update:
well last night I decided I would try the passenger side since I had that window installed into the seal and on the rail, and I was able to get the adjustment screw loose. Same issue with the seal base being too long to fit into the door and front side not being able to be squeezed down in all the way, but I lubed it up, made a very slight trim to the bottom front as instructed by Mr. Matt and Mr. Mark. so once the track or frame bottom was in far enough to put the top screw in, and then the adjustment screw also at the bottom was in its hole, it looked like I had it in place and would work, but upon trying to shut the door, the front edge of the window and the seal on the car just don't line up. Huge gap at the top, and not the in or out adjustment that you would expect and be able to adjust with the screw at the bottom but rather the top edge is back too far, and the front is about a 1/4" too far forward and cant shut the door. now with out the window or seal the door alignment itself is perfect so that is not the issue., somehow the triangle and seal do not set back at the base, far enough back. and the frame somehow needs to angle more forward about a quarter inch at the top. but there isn't really an adjustment for that , with the 2 screws in place it should line up, so any ideas?? I don't have a pic sorry, I gave up as I was getting eaten by mosquitoes , just had had it again. 1 |
