Rear Window Sideways

[Keith S]

From the up position my rear window travels properly to both the vent and full open. The problem occurs when I go to put the window back up. From the open position it goes up crooked and does not close unless you help the lower side of the window up while it is closing. Anyone have any input on what the problem might be?

Aloha Keith. The first thing that I would do is put lubricant in the channels that the window rides in. Try to find something that won't attract dust!

Could be either sticking on one side track or a broken rivet on the regulator (probably the opposite (upper) side).

Update: went out and purchased some PB Blaster Garage Door Lubricant. Says it works well in door/window tracks, is a dry lubricant (applies wet), and does not collect dust. Hit both sides of the window with it and it appears to have solved the problem *crossed fingers*.



Thank you,

Keith S.
