  • Off track window fix?

    Has anyone found a good way to fix their window when it leans forward while trying to roll them up? I'd look for new parts on fourgreen but their shipping is crazy expensive. I'd love not having to get out of the car to pull the window towards the back while rolling it up. I'm fine with rigging something like a window crank system as long as it works. Anyone tried anything that worked?

    If it don't fit, use a bigger hammer!

      So do I just take off the door card and replace the existing (possibly non-existing) ones
      or is this an addition?

        That piece that navdoc101 suggests looks like the real deal replacement and I'm glad to know a source. I had some luck putting a small machine screw and nylock nut though the hole for the original screw with a fender washer and what was like a matching rubber fender washer( something I had on hand ) and gently tightening it all down. Siliconing the track thoroughly while the door card is off will help, too.

          Take off the door card & replace old grommets with new.
          Then silicon/WD40 window channel , & grease all the metal gears.
          I got this idea/ parts info. from another member, can't remember who.
