1. where do you apply those washers in order to align the lifting mechanism right below the glass? Any explanatory pics anybody?
2. Have I understood correctly, that moving glass-holding tabs forward ~5mm (~0.2 inches) so that they push glass firmly in the back slider TOGETHER with applying washers mentioned in (1) SHOULD fix the problem once and for good?
Advance thanx on clarifications!
Answer #1
The amount of washers depends on how far your inner door panel has been pulled in, it should be a different amount for every problem.
You replace the stock bolts (four) with longer metric bolts.
lower the window and remove the two bottom stock bolts.that hold the lift arm mechanism.
place as many washers between the bolt holes as needed to place the lift arm under the glass.
unbolting the glass is a good way of checking if the arm is under the glass, it should hold it up without bolts.
after counting the washers, tape them together like a roll of pennies, to make two spacers. re-bolt the bottom of the lift arm mechanism with the longer bolts.
Raise the window near the top, and repete all these step with the upper two bolts.
There are pictures in my gallery.
If you have it right you should be able to raise and lower your window unbolted from the glass.
Answer #2
Lower the window again. unbolt the window glass tabs from the lifting arm.
Push the glass as far as you can into the rear window guide.
Look at the window tab and lift arm bolt holes.
if they do not line up, you need to:
a) move / replace the window tabs and re-glue them.
b) slot the holes in the lift arm. (if it is close)
c) slot the lift mechanism holes. (the same four that now have spacers)
Again there are pictures in my gallery.
If you have it right you should be able to raise and lower your window unbolted from the glass.
I just finished this repair after the brass insert ripped loose from the nylon window bolt. forcing another alignment to releave the binding. After all privious fixes the window had a tendency to tilt foward when raising as it came into the non adjustable mirror( about 4" from the top) part of the front guide that is widened and pushed foward in the Common "fix". the REAL issue is the window needs to move back into the rear guide. Each door is probibly a little different and where they glued the tabs on the window would make a lot of change in the adjustment also.
The discriptions are in the gallary, ALL pictures are of the DRIVER side only.
