Scgreen620 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Ok so I tried looking it up but no luck anyways my driver side window doesn't hold up any more I lower it a little and it lowers it self I'm afraid it might drop one day and just shatter .. My question is has anyone bought the eBay ones? Or should I buy the Used ones ? (From eBay) thanks Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 The window is clamped to the bottom glass channel. If it's free to move up and down it's not bolted on properly. Take the handle and the arm rest off and pop the door card so you can see what going on in there. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 The spring is probably broken. I would buy a used one waaaay before I bought a crappy aftermarket. Or better yet, if you can find a used one from overseas that would be best, since it'll be LHD and the RH regulator will have seen little use. 2 Quote Link to comment
Jersey Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 You don't mention by how much "it lowers itself"...Mine drops a little too, 1/8th of an inch, maybe...You're working with an almost 40 year old regulator: That's a lot of up and down action, so some play is to be expected...Mike is right: Knowledge is power! Pull the door panel and investigate. Start by loosening the 3 10MM bolts that hold the window to the track, reposition the window and retighten the bolts. If that doesn't solve the issue...Pull the regulator and check its condition. If yours Is bad, I may have an extra one...I'll have to check. As for your window dropping, and shattering: Highly unlikely. 1 Quote Link to comment
Scgreen620 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Let's say I'm driving with the window closed a little bump makes the window roll itself, fast... That's what I mean .. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Not following... it falls down or rolls down by itself? Replace the side window channel felts Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Not following... it falls down or rolls down by itself? Replace the side window channel felts It shouldn't fall down even without any felt. The spring is broken or somehow disconnected... Quote Link to comment
Jersey Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 The window channel felts really only aid in element intrusion and anti-rattle of the window within its travel. If you hit a bump and your window goes down: your issue lies in the regulator...As Mike said earlier, pull that panel and see what's going on in there. When it rolls itself down are you able to roll it back up, or does the crank just spin freely? If it spins, your gear may be stripped...It sounds like you will be needing a regulator. 1 Quote Link to comment

It does roll back up when I turn it manually it just doesn't hold in one position ... I need the driver side .. Do you have a extra regulator? Quote Link to comment
