So as I am nearing the completion of this almost 2 year project i have begun working out the little bugs.
When I began the windows would not roll up. So I pulled the door panels and have since diagnosed the driver door and am looking for the solution. Below is a picture of the lifter mechanism inside early doors. A small tab (not shown) on a flexible piece of thread moves vertically raising and lowering the window. This tab fits into the receiver (inside the red boxes) piece that is affixed to the glass. On my driver window the receiver piece has managed to detach itself from the glass. My question is: What material should I use to reattach the receiver piece to the glass? My passenger side is presenting problems as well. On this side the receiver is intact but the tab is presenting problems. It appears that the window has shifted so that the receiver does not hit the tab correctly. In the picture below you will see the tab. The red circle illustrates where the tab should hit the receiver, I know this based upon the indentation left from use and from relative alignment of the driver side. The green circle shows approximately where the tab does sit. The window also feels as if it is catching or grinding on something, it dose not roll up, or down, smoothly. My questions are as follows: Is there some manner in which I can adjust the play in the window? What could the window possibly be catching on? What should I do to make the tab align? If I were to grease the channels that the window slides in what would I use? -jim |
