In my driver's side door, the left side of the bracket comes completely away from the metal track when the window gets about halfway up. The design is poor because one of the guides on the bracket is designed to grip the track, but they didn't make all of them that way. Go figure. Now I have to get back in there because since I tinkered with it I now have a door rattle. Anyone got any more ideas?
I finally pulled my door panel off, (drivers side)and the nylon nut tab was broke off from the window,(the one the regulator arm attaches to). I'm epoxying the tab back on the window, but I have to wait till tomorrow to see if it will hold. I quoted "Heraclid" because I also noted the regulator arm carrier is pulling away at the top of the track, (I'm using needle nose vice grips to hold in place while it cures.). It looks like if you placed a washer or two between the door frame and the arm track, it might align the track with the window up position better. I cannot test if it would affect the window down position, but I don't think so.
I did the other fixes while I wait for the epoxy to cure. I'll take a few pictures so I'll have them, just in case I put the washers in, to clearify my describtion.
The moisture barrier was gone so the windows have been worked on before.
