I'm having a problem with the door gl*** on my '57 Nomad p***enger door. that I hope someone has a suggestion on how to correct it. When I roll the window up {manual window} and it gets about 1/2 way up it seems to "bind" up and becomes very hard to crank up the rest of the way. I've dis***embled the door ,tried adjusting the vertical front and rear gl*** run channels. Replaced the window regulator and adjusted the roller track that attaches to the inside of the door and replaced the "felt" material in the rear gl*** run channel. Nothing seems to correct this problem that started about a year ago. The car only gets driven infrequently and was totally restored some time ago. Any ideas? Thanks, Pat
Dunno, but after doing all that and getting the same outcome, I'd wonder if the size/shape of the gl*** is the issue. Might be tight somewhere...?
Have you tried pulling it all of the way up without the regulator attached? Doublepumper could be right. Is it new gl***?
Was the run channel installed with rivets or screws and one has backed out? With the gl*** down, run a paint paddle in your channel to check for interference.
I'm going to try that. I'm going down to a gl*** shop tomorrow and have them grind just a" smiggin' " off the front edge. Thanks for the help
Thanks for the help but all of the inner trim is removed and it's still tight Going to try grinding just a touch off the front edge
The rear gl*** channel is held to the door with screws and the bottom is adjustable {in and out} I'll try your paint paddle trick. Thanks
pulling it up w/o the regulator the gl*** is still tight.Yes the gl*** is new. I'm going to try grinding the front edge slightly
