I was having alot of problems with my drivers side window going so slow. tried the slicione spray and eventually needed to replace regulator and motor. Was good to go for about 2-3 weeks after replacing. Now as of yesterday it goes up sometimes all the way but will be off the rubber molding (Window goes on outer lip) If i hold the rubber molding back in the left hand corner where window meets door i can get it to get up okay but then need to push it up by hand because the rubber molding folds up and makes it get stuck.

I saw the rubber window run channel on majestic parts but not sure if thats exactly what I need because it looks like it runs down the left hand side of door/window and then into the door. here's some pictures if they help.

Thanks alot in advance,

Nick



In this picture, you can see that molding is not straight up. it is folded.

In this last picture, you can see how it folds upwards

To me it looks like from this diagram that i would need a few things. Does number 6/11 go all the way down into the door?

What is 4/9? Sash?

Did you ever replace the run channel seal?

11 is the glass run channel seal (the rubber seal) LF door (drivers door).
(The main part you needed, apparently, not including the damaged regulator or any other damaged parts.)

9 and 10 are the steel tracks that the seal fits into down inside the door. They are steel, no rubber at all. Replace only if damaged.

Just gonna SWAG here, your seal looks all bunched up like the glass has been trying to bring it up out of the door and wad it up.
Like the glass has been dragging in the seal real, real bad.
Looks like it needed lubed for long time.
Lubing the seals with spray silicone regularly, helps avoid this.
You have to do the lube long before it gets slow and draggy though.

Most of these that I see have the glass jumped out of the seal groove down inside the door, then when you raise it it tries to go between the rubber and the steel until it jams at the mirror area. Glass pitches forward as it binds by the mirror area. Spreads the track out if someone keeps jamming it, and can screw up the regulator.
Doing the adjustments outlined in the appropriate bulletin helps with this one, after replacing whatever parts got damaged.

When I put the new regulator in Sept 2011 I lubed everything really well, from the start it seemed to be dragging though a bit when you first start bringing it up then once it got past the low part, it went nice and smooth up to the top.

I ordered the new regulator, when I install it, I'll take a better look at the steel and the rubber sash. I really don't want to replace the rubber weatherstripping at all but if i need to then it is what it is.

I'll probably try to get away with just the regulator/motor set up again. lube all the tracks really well with spray silicone and see what happens. The window weatherstripping looks fine other then the part I showed you in the picture above.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

I think you didn't read the service bulletin, and you didn't understand WHY I asked the question:Do I need to spell it out?

I did read over the service bulletin.

I guess i Should go ahead and get the new replacement channel run then..

Should save you from doing a **THIRD** regulator too soon.

But it can't fix the broken one you have now.

Motor/Regulator is getting extremely slow again and I really dont want to have to get a 3rd one already so I'm going to bite the bullet and pray that getting the new glass run channel will fix my issue. Can i get this one?

Bump. please let me know if this is good for my car and if this should fix my window problems!

Thanks!

go oem with parts like this. I bought a hatchback that has an aftermarket driver's side door and glass and regulator. Nothing but issues. Still have the aftermarket door but used OEM regulator motor and glass and have little to no issues. Sometimes it gets caught in the stripping along the top of the door panel so I ripped it out and now no issues at all.

Go with OEM.

I dont mind spending the $50 on the seal for the front window. I just dont want to get it and then somehow realize that I need something else. I've already replaced the regular/motor assembly twice within the last 8 months. It is really a pain in the ***. What else could it even be if its not the weatherstripping?
