Window moves too easy? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

muddpile · 09-23-2007, 03:17 PM

I put the regulator into my passenger door last night along with a passenger window (truck never used to have one). Anyways, Once I got it in, I noticed that the window moves WAY easy. I can put my hand on it, and slide it down like nothing. Any suggestions in the way of a fix for this? Thanks!

Will it roll up and down easy?

Rolls up and down very well and very easy. It's actually really nice to use aside from the fact you can move it from the outside.

Sounds like the spring at the center of the gears is broken.

Like, that would flat piece of steel type spring? It's still working fine, as it kept wanting to push the window up as I was trying to put it in. Maybe it's just weak. Is there a stop in there or something that keeps everthing working right?

my windows do the same thing, when i pulled it out of the barn for the first time in 15 years they wouldnt budge, so i loaded it up with wd40 and now they will roll down while i ride down the road -.- it kinda worries me that someone could open my truck by rollin my window down. when you figgure out whats up with yours let me know
