<VV> EARLY WINDOW REGULATOR BINDING

[Doug Mackintosh]

Tim, besides lubing the mechanism, see if the glass has jumped out of the vertical channels. Mine managed to jump the track. At the rear of the glass there is a metal tab that runs in the channel. The front of the glass runs directly in the channel. Besides getting it back on track, I used white lithium spray lube on the cam mechanisms and also on the gear teeth. That seemed to do the trick.
<<I have a 64 convert here for other issues , fixed all but the front drivers 
door window regulator is very tight, almost impossible to work. The glass 
seems  free , but shaft works hard. I have tried lubing at the shaft and 
everywhere I  can without removing the assembly. I was trying not to get 
involved in body work  , plus it has new door panels on it.
  Any "on car" repairs?
On another note , this car is the first failure of a Crane XR700 ignition I 
have seen. Replacing the module fixed it.  I must have at least 5 or more  
out there , including my own on Rampy , which is at least 20 years  old.
Regards, Tim Colson>>
