Window fix, one more time
Just read some of the older posts on problems with the windows. Mine had the same, and the fix I did is permanent. I have rolled my windows up and down 1000s of times since the fix, still perfect. The fix is simple, requires a metal drill and screwdriver. I am posting again because you can keep going to your Isuzu dealer and it will never be a permanent fix, unless the motor was shot. What really seems to happen in "binding" is that there is play on the track and the cable rolling the window rail up is balanced too much to the rear, binding the window. This happens after the vertical rail receives some minor wear. It then wears more and more due to the bind-up. Try this, and don't hesitate to call me if you need more help. Ask for number via post. Good luck.
Another window fix. Post# 1
My driver side window had the exact issues described by Moncha and various other members. The window seemed to have a slight forward tilt, and upon closing, would get stuck tilting backwards. I looked at Moncha's fix and followed his advice, but it wasn't enough in my case. The window rail (the center lift where the cable is) appered to have a little play allowing for a slight tilt when going up and down.
My fix was quick and easy, I removed the window and braced it up. I took a drill and bit and started drilling/cutting upwards on the bracket hole on the right side. Be careful not to drill through the door :-)
Upon re-installing the window I made sure that the bracket would now fit as high up in the extended hole as possible, tilting window tight to the left. Tighten down and voila. It goes as smooth as it should be and I can't wait 'till the passenger side starts screwing up.
