Track it down and rip it out.

Installed a Window Rocket. With all new window runs and that I was having no slow issues with my windows, installing the Window Rocket was a bit of overkill. Windows are now noticeably faster, it works as advertised. We have two 80s the second being another 1997 that my wife mainly drives and...
