How is the horizontal metal piece attached to the glass? Perhaps if it can be removed with the glass still in the door, a repair/replacement would be simple. There is very little rust inside the door and it appears that the front mounting tab of the horizontal piece has broken. With it out, a weld job may do the trick.
I have only removed the door panel, worked the window back up and disabled the switch. The car is still being used while I await the free expert advice from this list. Thanks Harry On 1/10/07, Rich Thomas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
You just need to take off the door panel (lift STRAIGHT UP so you don't break the map pocket tabs), take out the regulator (which is the frame that makes the whole thing go up and down) and check it out. There are only a few (3?) bolts on the whole thing, the glass is attached by 2 (one of which is probably broken or fallen out and is in the bottom of the door), put a little wood wedge between the glass and the window frame to hold it up while you remove the regulator). It is quite apparent how to do this if you look at it for a minute. The second time you do all this it will take less than an hour to take it out, fool with it, and put it back. Clean/grease everything while you are in there. It is a bit fiddly to take out, but comes out/goes in easily. Can't tell from your note if you already have it apart, but that is what you need to do. --R Harry Watkins wrote: > A bad place to have a window problem is after you've paid $6 for a car wash, > the green light says, "come one in" and the window goes up in the rear half > only. > > It appears there may be a broken attaching point near the front of the > glass.
