Re: door drop glass alignment 49' single piece glass

I think the adjustment instructions are in the factory service manual but I am at work until 7:30 PM pacific time. Maybe someone else can dig it out

On posting photos if you click on the "go advanced" Icon then click on the paper clip to the right of the happy face on the top row the attachments link comes up where you can post attachments/photos and is reasonably self explanatory.

Re: door drop glass alignment 49' single piece glass

There is a channel that is bolted to the door that a little wheel off the end of an arm of the regulator runs back and forth on. That channel needs to be rocked one way or the other. I don't remember exactly what way but if you loosen it and rock it you will see the glass rocking as well.

That is all there is to it.

Crap, now I am looking at this photo I found and that channel doesn't move, I could swear it did. That is super basic stuff, check and see if yours does, I could swear it did.

Roller is shot and or not there in the front of the regulator

The regulator needs to be replaced.
