I tried lubricating the assembly.

Check to make sure the window is still in all the tracks and there is no binding somewhere that's jammed the window up.

Im guessing that is problem however, since I cant see a damn thing. Why GM made made the window/door like this I will never know.

I am trying to get the car to the dealership to get them to fix it. I have had about enough of skrewing with it.

But please, send me some more advice. I would love to do it myself and save some money and time!!

I posted this in another thread earlier:


I just bought a 93 Formula last week with a similar problem. The little rollers in the guides sit on these posts that appear to be riveted or something. They are sloppy and loose. I also think this is why my driver side window is getting slow. The rollers will bind in the track when the window is operated. If I manually "help" the window along it seems to get tight. From the looks of it, these rollers seem to be the only support for the window unless it is all the way up or all the way down. Then it relies on crappy plastic "locks".
