Window won't roll up!

My grandpa brought his truck over because the window wouldn't roll up. I didn't end up fixing it but I did put a thin stick in the window track so that the window would only roll down halfway, that way he can pull up on the window to close it.

Do your self a favor and don't replace the rivets its unnecessary extra work just use screws/nuts.

Hows the weather in Minnesota? Its starting to cool down in Las Vegas. In fact I don't think it went over 105 degrees today :)

@mja19870000000000 It has been cooling off a litte here lately. Highs in the 60's but not too cold yet.

hey bah you got any suggestions for regluing a window back in the clips on the cheap?i got a 95 lincoln continental and the drivers window came out of the clips that bolt onto the tracks i have no clue as to get it fixed would construction adhesive work and actually hold up?

@blazerlover25 I have used black RTV to "glue" a window into the seal so that it wouldn't fall down anymore. Not exactly the "right" way to fix it but I hate working on power windows and the RTV seems to hold it up just fine.

It's the nylon rollers in the gear, and the gear kit is about $15. I did mine in about an hour and the reg and window does not have to come out.

@WhoSaidTyler Hey thanks, I didn't really look into it much but now that I know I can get the parts instead of just the whole motor I may just do it.

You wouldnt have to fuck around with it if you told gramps from the start that you just don't want to fuck around with his window.

i had a problem like that but my window wouldnt roll up at all and what i did to get the motor out was drilled a few holes in the door where the bolts were for the window motor instead of drilling out all the rivets. was alot less work

@bah53 me and my dad replaced the gears and i don't think we had to take anything but the door panel off but i don't know for sure
