Power windows problems
I have a problem with the power windows on my 74 Coupe. The windows won´t go to the full top position. They stop around 2 inches from the top position but the engine is stil spinning. Seems like the drivegear disengages at that position. I´m guessing the linkage or gears are worn but wanted to know before I start tearing everything out. Is this a common problem?

Sorry can't help you with your powerwindow guestion. Sounds pretty much about worn out drive gear though...

This is caused by worn teeth on the regulator. Eckler's sell a repair kit that just gives you a section of new teeth so you can fix yours rather than replacing the whole assembly.

Agree that it is probably the "regulator gear". Suggest replacing the gear w/ aftermarket instead of the SS section. Explained why previously in another topic on this.
