  • $&#%£€ windows are stuck AGAIN

    I've about had it with my windows. I love driving Hot Rod with the windows down but dag-nab-it both are hanging up again. I've tried new regulators, dry lube, etc and about to try the dang hammer. I've played with the idea of converting to power but I'm seeing mixed reviews on here.

    Does anyone have a proven method for fixing these windows? Desperate and hot. :p

        ^HaHa that was our secret weapon lol

        The little spot weld on the front of my BP car broke(hard to tell unless panel is off) and window was hard to roll up,
        or it wouldnt roll up at all.

        I took door panel off and put another weld on it, solved my problems!

          Maybe your belt moldings are shot. The glass will bind on the rubber if all of the flock is worn away.

              Hey Man, no new pics as I haven't done much with it other than drive since last spring. I will check the welds and see what happens. Thanks

                I guess during this rainy weekend I will spend my time in the garage fixing windows. The passenger side came completely off track yesterday.
