By "inward", do you mean toward the center of the vehicle from the broad side of the vehicle? I've never checked into this sort of thing, but constant tension of any kind is going to mean more wear for sure.

Maybe to keep everything from rattling around. The more you look, the more lackluster design/build you find...

What's going on brother! I haven't had a crack at it since I've got projects around the house to take care of. When I get to it I'll let you know if I have any success. Oh yeah I forgot to mention that your car is low enough!

Yeah inward, inboard, away from the door skin toward the pull strap. Rattle prevention method is possible. If others here have noticed the same thing, then less cause for concern.

Actually, considering the balance between cost and profit Ford had to achieve and considering the other cars I have owned and currently own, these cars continue to hold up. The platform sharing with enough other vehicles while still achieving their own uniqueness (at least to me, the GP thinks they're TBirds) makes for affordable upkeep when needed. I don't feel these cats are lackluster but again, I know I'm in the minority.

I've had a couple Chryslers from the same era, and I really must say that the design differences are night and day.

I know comparing Fox platform cars to K-cars is like comparing filet mignon to a 10 day old Big Mac, but it does count for something.

I find it rather interesting that i posted the 100% fix for this issue and everyone is still having issues with it. The same people are posting fixes that 100% do not work and i find this very frustrating at best. I go to great lengths to solve problems like this and willingly pass it on so once again here is the fix Plain and simple those 2 tiny glass clips are to small to control that window. And they expand and contract with temperature. Plain and simple there is not enough ares to glue weld nail replace spit on to the glass to hold that window on the regulator with those small clips. Those clips do not have enough surface area and nothing i have tries will hold them to the glass, New ones will only last a short time as well. You need to increase the clamping area by 100% of the window bottom for proper holding ability and call it a day. Until then you are wasting your time and effort. I posted the fix 2 times.

One more time make 2 of these and your window issues are OVER. FOREVER!!!

I dont know i am not familiar with finding things on these sites. But up north when these windows and other windows freeze to the welting it will pull the clips off every time i9f you hit the down button and the glass is frozen to the welting if you do not have full length channels. I have tried all the chemicals my suppliers have said will work with this issue and they all failed. Also you have to be absolutely sure the window moves up and down and not binding. That is a given!!

You can buy bottom channel and weld tabs to them and make them any length you want. I make my own from scratch!! Cut it to size wels tabs to it then fill it with window weld with the window up and wait 24 hours FIXED FOREVER!!

Yes, there I go, like seemingly every writer for Jalopnik. Blaming everything on the manufacturer and conveniently glossing over the heaping pile of government regulation that the big 3 had to just "adjust to" overnight. Then again I've been told by many that you need look no further than the these-days-super-glorified original Muscle Cars for examples of "just thrown together" assembly.
