I dunno what else to do. I've replaced the motors TWICE now.. Even replaced the weatherstripping and they are still screwd up.

They do NOT go up and down straight, they rock side to side.. I cannot get them to stay in track.. They end up not staying in the weatherstripping and getting all ****-eyed and not wanting to roll up/down.

I know it's adjustment, but I can't do it. I've spent a several hours total, trying to get em right. I'm somewhat mechanically inclined and I'm not too stupid.. but I just can't get this right.

Anybody have any tips on how to get the windows adjusted correctly?

 

technique is in haynes.
my drivers side bolts loosened and window wobbled and would not stay in its weather strip when going up.
remove door panel and see the nut adjusters at channel.
as i recall, help window go in its upper strip, then snug up nut/nuts-cant remember # now.
test. if more tilt is needed, loosen and gently tilt adj. more before tightening.

 

Is this a coupe or sedan?

 

Sedan.

I've messed with the adjustment so much and I can never get it right..
Guess I"ll have to break down and buy a Helms..

 

Actually, screw it. I'm sick of dealin with it. I'm just gonna pay somebody to do it for me.

DIY is great when you can actually DO it.. But this freakin adjustment has kicked my butt
