Driver's side automatic Window
Hi,
The driver's (1978 model) side automatic window only goes to the top if i open the door;
the window goes all the way down no problem. When it comes time to bring it up it goes up i would say 85% then gets stuck. But if i just open the car door (just a bit doesnt need to be fully opened) and try to bring it up, it will go all the way up.
anyone know what the issue is here?
Thanks alot !

thanks alot guys!
Ill give the silicone a shot.
The only thing that i still don't get is how come if i open the door it goes all the way on the top?
How does the door being open circumvent the problem?

When this happens, it means parts of the mechanism and associated are beginning to wear. Sometimes you can adjust this back to acceptable, but then you see a fit issue show up somewhere else...closing the door with the glass up, wind noise, etc.

Because the glass isn't rubbing the weatherstripping as tightly with the door open. Look at how the glass fits against the rubber and you'll see. I assume by "automatic", you mean "power". The 78's had no automatic feature that I'm aware of.

Your power window regulator spring is probably off or broken.. it helps lift the glass http://www.corvettemods.com/C3-Corve...ng_p_6489.html
