pass. window adjust

Post by dingo » Mon Aug 18, 2008 7:00 pm

Passenger window...it opens fine,but when it gets to the bottom of the travel, it lists heavily towards the rear...then has to be straightened by hand before winding window up....is there something i can adjust to prevent this ???

Remove the door panel and the plastic liner. Watch the bottom of the window as you raise it. I bet the bottom metal piece is either broken or one of the 2 bolts fell out..

the bolts are tight ..but the bracket with bolts seems to be loosely connected to the horizontal strip..it wiggles around freely

Sound like it rusted away where the spot welds hold the plate to the channel. Comes under the heading of "I bet the bottom metal piece is broken......"
