Windows Experts Pls Help Me
71' manual windows
O.K. here is the situation. My drivers side window seems to have come unattached < at leas partially from the forward slide. How can I get into the door to fix it and see what needs to be replaced? I took the panel off and it looks like it is pretty well together as one peice. I know there has got to be a way to do it. Any Ideas?

Do you mean the plastic roller bolted thru the glass is loose, or that it has come out of it's track? I would bet on the roller being either loose(not likely) or broken. You will most likely have to remove the window to fix or replace the roller. See the service manual for detailed steps as to how to do it. I think, but am not sure, that you can get the window out without moving any of the channels, which would affect the adjustments. See this site for help with that if needeed

PS: Not an expert, just a bumbler that went thru both of my 72's to clean the channels, etc and found it was not that hard with the instructions. Should have marked all the channel locations before removing them, but then I wouldn't have spent a few hours learning how to adjust the glass.

The AIM has good pics also. Scribe the bolt holes so you know where to put everything back if you pull things out.
