vent windows - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just recently replaced my vent windows and am having trouble rolling up the window. once it gets about all but 3 inches from being all the up the window gets real hard to crank. Is there an adjustment that I am missing? The truck is a 67 and the vent windows came out of a 68 so I dont think that is the problem.Any help would be appreciated.

There are not any adjustments. I suspect that the felt runs on your replacement vent windows are in better shape and it put pressure onto the back felt. I would look at the junction of the lower rear run and the door to see if the felt is ok. It is hard to see but that is a problem area.

It seems as if your problem happens just as the window guide hits that area which would make the window about three inches from the top.

Thanks for your help. I was just afraid to try and force the window up all the way. The felt is in better condition thn the old vent window.
