Windows won't roll down....Help!

[retodd7711]

The windows on my '62 are extremely difficult to roll up or down.
It helps if I lift the window, crank a little bit, wiggle the window, shake some more...
I need a little advice before I tear into the doors.
How do the handles come off?
They look to be different than my '69.
I'm hoping for a clean,lubricate,re-assemble type fix.
Am I looking at that or something else entirely.
A bit of "been there, done that" help goes a long way.
Thanks, Todd

Looks pretty similar to my 63. Door and window handles are located by grub screws recessed into the handles. Remove these, also the arm-rest which is located by two screws. Remove screws from panel surround, you then have access to the regulator mechanism.

I had this problem on mine; basically it's wear, tear and weather which ruins the strips. Don't be tempted to leave it, I wiggled my window once too often and broke the spot-welds which hold the channel to the regulator. Be very careful when removing anything inside, it's a good idea to photograph things before you strip them if you haven't got a workshop manual.

I would renew all the weather-strip if I were you, not expensive and worth doing.
