so my driver side power window is acting goofy.. to describe it.. we will say that the edge of the window that ponts to the trunk is the "back" side.. and the edge that points towards the engine is the "front".. when i hit the switch and the window goes up... it also shifts foward and kind of comes out of the rubber.. its VERY minimal.. but enough to be annoying on the highway..

please help...

Your going to need a window regulator, and run channel. Sorry to bring bad news but thats what will fix it. Over time your regulator will become slightly bent, from putting the window up and down the run channel takes abuse, that's why you need both. After you fix it, just to remember to lube the window tracks with silicone spray, everytime you change the oil is a good interval.

correct^

and they are a bitch to install, just wait till your window starts coming out of the track randomly haha... good luck!

sucks.. just by looking at it last night it looked like EVERYTHING associated with the power windows were a HUGE pain.. the suckiest part is its SO close to perfect.. its just the last inch or so where it slides of course.. i can physically push it to where its closed perfect... but it just doesnt stay..

I've gotta say when you only need a pick, phillips head screwdriver, and a 10mm deep socket. This seems to be an easy *** job. Customers pay 2 hours for this, at dealerships, it takes 20 mins.
