Another Power Window Question (1 Viewer)

[semostickbow]

I've researched and haven't quite found my answer. Replaced the DS window motor a few months ago, now my window won't stay in the track. It seems that the track has two rollers in it that are connected to two arms that move while the window goes up and down. One of the rollers keeps breaking, the part that fits inside the roller won't stay in the roller.

I can put it back together by squeezing it in a C clamp, but it keeps popping out under the weight of the window. I also noticed that when it is put all back together (window duct tapped all the way up) that the track seems flimsy, like there is too much front to back movement. Seems like something should be holding it steady in place.

Sorry for the non-mechanical techinical names, at least I didn't call it a "thingy". Clear as mud?

Thanks for the help!

is it the correct regulator(scissor mech.) for the year, model etc? does it have all of the bolts in the right places and are they tight? if not it will act funny. if you can take it out and snap a photo or two I can compare it to mine to see if it might be bent or broke. I just repaired mine after qiut a bit of trouble shooting so I have become kind of familiar with them. Anyway, hope we can help.

To my knowledge everything is factory. I'll take pictures this weekend and post them. I appreciate the help, sucks driving around on a 70 degree day with the window up.

Are you saying you can't tell what part's broken since you don't know how it's all supposed to look/act? If that's the case, I think I'd open up another door and compare.

I had the same type of problem on my window, it wouldnt stay on the track and it only went part way up before it slid fell off the track.
I found the problem was the metal track that is connected to the bottom of the window had moved on the rubber seal, I used a small hammer and tapped it back about 3 inches and now it stays on the track and the window goes up and down perfectly.

Anyone know the best thing to lube the tracks?

I used white lithium grease, worked well so far.
