Default window problem

Hi all, I just purchased a '75 Stingray for Christmas and I am having problems with the drivers side window. I have searched and tried to fix the window but no luck yet. I can adjust the window to fit and close properly but when you use the power windows it falls out of alignment again, you can reset it and it works fine but use the window again and it falls. What should I do?

I expect that you have the same problem that I did. Broken and worn rollers and a worn out regualtor mechanism (it was very loose). What I ended up doing was rebuilding both sided with all new rollers and regulators. Works great now.

o.k. how do you access the rollers and regulators? do they pull out of the top of the door with the glass?
