Default window off track

well, was on my way to work today.. put my window down, and wont go back up now. it goes up about half way then stops because of the rubber sealant that surrounds the window. and because of it hitting up on the sealant, it now fell off track. any ideas on how i can maybe fix this or does anybody no how much this rubber sealant that surrounds the window is ?

There is a service bulletin for this on the Ek's. We see it at work all the time. Just replace the window run channel and that will fix the problem.

mine did this last summer, was a chilly night and I went to get pizza. rolling window up at a stop light, i hear engine noise like its down, look back and there's 2 inches of open space in the top corner.

I took off panel and removed the plastic moisture guard, whatever it is and found that part of the base holding the glass had two loose bolts.

Had a friend push the window into place as I rolled up, got it aligned right, and tightened everything up.

I'd suggest checking out all the bolts, making sure everything is tightened and what not, then look for bent pieces and such.

DONT! Take off that plastic piece. It's not just for moisture, it also helps with sound.

What you can do is take that 10mm bolt down on the bottom front of the door out and move the track forward then push the window back and slide the window back in the track. Then to keep this from happening again spray some silicone lubricant in the track. Just push the track as far back as you can and put the 10mm bolt back in and your set. No need to remove anything.

Edit: This bolt

yo had the same problem...
the repair is super easy, go buy a new rubber track ($60-80), and the regulator arm ($60-80) for the glass (if it went of track that could be bent) THen all you need to do is un bolt the glass from the regulator arm, after lining up the bolts to the access holes. Then pull the glass out the top of the door. Then un-bolt the regulator arm from the door frame. remove, and remount the motor, re-install... silicone spray the track befoire re-installing the window but it was real simple. Lemme know if you got any questions I took alot of pics during muine, was gonna do a write up but haven't...

I removed the plastic (peeled off carefully) and just put it back on and it worked fine. It didn't rip, I just used some caulk. I fixed mine with no additional parts, only my 10mm and it hasn't messed up since.
