another productive day, i got the window regulator changed out. didnt take to long at all. i am wandering however if the window regulator was really bad. i found that the pin on forward side of the door was broke off the frame, which makes me tend to think that is where the binding originated from. stay tuned for pictures as i have notdownloaded them from my phone yet. momentarily tho you will see.

Here is the pin that i referred to.. it is fwd part of the door on the bottom of the door.
Here you can see the nut that holds thd pin which would have been attached to the bottom of the frame off the assy.

Somehow I missed your original post! Congrats on the new toy and it's obvious you're getting to know it up close and personal!
