Thanks for the better understanding of the TOD.
That info will indeed help. Maybe someone put the wrong diff oil in. I've seen it happen before. I"ll be checking all the fluids anyway.
So, here's what I did with the parts:
...and here's the one that needs to be raised in order to tilt the glass:
The part is a roller assembly for glass shower doors. Just abourt every hardware store has them. I paid about $17 for four of them. I pulled the roller hardware off them, drilled holes in the proper locations and bolted them to the lift bar with two M6 bolts and nuts. Then I smeared some Weldwood contact cement (I didn't like the Goop stuff) onto the rubber pieces that I cut from the shower door bottom seal I bought. I placed them on the new clips, got the window in place and smeared some cement in the glass then pushed them together firmly. It took some doing to get the rubber to slip in the slot and pinch the glass, but it's there now and holding.
I tried it once going up and it worked fine. It just needs an overnight cure now. Before I put things back together I lubed the track with copper anti-sieze. Tomorrow I'll get some dry graphite powder into the rubber channels and free that friction point up a bit. I like it way better than silicone spray.
Total cost of mod, about $25 and an hour and a half of work.
Time will tell...
