    I tried adding washers to the top of the track but that forced part of the regulator onto the glass.

    still working on it.

    I'm guessing, that you know, that is too many!


    The most important adjustment;
    Is for the window glass to "rest" on the top of the regulator Arm's center pad (white nylon) while the glass is unbolted!!!

    (so the window is in a "relaxed" state)

    This needs to be checked with the Arm, even with the top track bolts
    and again with the Arm, even with the bottom track bolts
    and then checked again and again. (in the middle too)
    in case shimming one, effected the other!
    You might want to start at the bottom.

    Once you see the arm able to stay under the glass all the way from the bottom to top without the glass bolted you will have the right amount of shims (washers)
    Then you can bolt the glass to the Arm!

    So am I to understand from this thread that the motor is not the real issue? I just don't want to spend $400 on a fix that won't even do anything.

    Nope, not at all. It is a poor design/alignment issue. That plastic guide wears since the window isn't aligned, eventually it could burn out the motor if you forced it up without helping enough times. If it makes that bogged down sound, and dims your lights, thats a sign the motor is working too hard
