Hi Alan,
The panel is off. I'm tuned in to the bracket on the window glass frame and
have it positioned correctly. On the the driver's side I get the "snap"
sound and stiffness as the wondow goes down past 1/2 way. On the passenger
side I just get the same stiffness past 1/2 way. I have grease all metal on
metal parts with molygraph grease and the window channels also. I know the
ventilator frame / window channel is adjustable at the fasteners to the door
and that the rear channel is also adjustable too, both with slotted holes
for the screws. I've adjusted the channels but maybe not well enough.
The parts list shows a bracket - stop - door glass - AHB9914 which my car is
missing. Can anyone give me the dimensions of this piece?
