Front main seal leaking/window problem
My '97 driver side window is hanging up! Has anyone taken the panel off and have pictures of the inside of the door where the window rides up and down. (I do not know what you call it) That is the problem with being female.
Next problem: My front main seal is leaking. How hard is this going to be to fix? Will I need to pull the motor?
Thanks for any help!

If the window is not seating properly that may explain the leak. I'd say it could be the motor thats on its way out. When that happens they tend to work too hard, overheat and hang up.
All that said, I think you'd need to take the panel off and take a look. The leak could just be old/compressed seals on a 97
