    Seeking effective long-term window fix

    Did you devise a fix? New OEM regulators from Isuzu did not solve the problem of my windows sliding out of their tracks when being raised.

    As my 1999 Ironman did not get driven as much as most, neither did my windows get used much. My window problems began in 2012. I'm relatively new to dealing with this problem.

    Is there an effective long-term fix? TIA.

    The SBC window brackets and regular lubrication of the tracks has solved the issues for me. The previous owner did the bracket install and I keep my tracks lubed with heavy duty silicone about every three months.

    So far no issues in 6 years...

    Here's my thread with pics showing Tim installing them in mine. I actually had Tim Parker of SBC do the install, lucky as he's only about 100 miles from me, so I went to him..
