Window has 1 1/8" of play up/down... February 19, 2006, 10:04:33 PM What would cause such a thing? I took my door panel off today to replace the attachment push-pins and looked around. If you roll the window down to an intermediate position then stop...the window can be moved 1 1/8" down. You can also rock it backwards/forwards a good bit. When the window goes up, it rocks forward until it slips into the slots at the top of the door..it then moves back into normal position (hopefully that made sense).All I can see that is out of the ordinary is a good bit off free-play between the motor/regulator interface. The motor spins for a bit before the regulator begins move. Quote Selected

Reply #2 – February 20, 2006, 12:33:37 PM did you notice the condition of the two craddle deals that hold the window in place along the bottom? the window just rides in the "FELT COVERED" tracks on the front and back vertical sections.you need to check the area where the window is held in place along the bottom Quote Selected
Window has 1 1/8" of play up/down... Reply #3 – March 07, 2006, 09:59:24 PM My driver side has some play also, but never checked the passenger side. I thought it was to allow for the shape of the window itself. The driver side came off the track last summer and I had to epoxy it back in place. While messing with it, I noticed the slide will actually move back and forth, which should be normal. As long as it is sitting properly and sealing when it is raised,. I don't see a problem. I'm sure from messing with this one that it's normal, but could be wrongDave Quote Selected

Reply #5 – March 08, 2006, 12:16:21 PM claude, i'm dissipointed in you for not mentioning my bird's window... remember, it has whole window play in it. the motor still turns but you gotta help it up and into place. Anyway, mines an 84 and i deal with it because i don't have the door panel on, ever... and i just help it up and down up and down. So yeah, if you fix this, please take pix so i can look at them.
