I tried searching, but couldn't find a thread with this exact problem. My driver's window has become loose over the last few years. Every time I close the door (even if I close it gently), the glass rattles - and rattles bad! Is there an easy fix for this? Will a Hayne's manual help me? Right before I bought the car, the motor was replaced. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Mine is the same way. I'd like to pop the door panel off and tighten and adjust but, I'm afraid of messing up the door panel in the process. Are there any special tools needed to pop it off without damage or will a screwdriver and a little force do the trick?

 

Go to Shoebox's site.He has all the info.I replaced the bottom rack that holds the glass.Took a long time,but mission accomplished.(New rack at the dealer was $50.00,along time ago.Hope this helps.).

 

I saw Shoebox's page with all the adjustments you can make but, the panel was already removed. I'll look again and see if I can find how to remove the panel without risking damage to the clips. I don't to fix my window only to have my door panel flapping once I"m done.

 

Found the page for removing door panel. Just missed it last time I looked. THANKS to Shoebox for all this terrific help!!

 

If you can wiggle the window back and forth a lot, chances are you broke the roller off the window channel. The channel is the part the window is riveted to. Pull off the door panel and look at the channel. The roller is towards the rear of the door. If it has broken free of the channel, then you have to replace the whole channel. It is a huge PITA.

 

If were thinking of the same piece; you can get a roller that has a pin with threading at the end. You take the old roller out, slide the new one in, line it up with the hole and put a nut on the backside.

You can find them at Pep Boys with the other "Help Tools" stuff. I was surprised they made it, I was about to replace the channel.

 

Anyone else seen/done this???

I just replaced my motor

**Insert Big-Ol' Hetero-Man-Smooch to shbox I Love Him!!!**

and looks like I have the broken roller thingie too. May as well fix it too before I put it all back together.

Guess I'll run to Advance and see what I can find...

 

I couldn't find it at Checkers (Advance), they only had the one for Fords but maybe you'll have some luck. I wasn't even able to find it at Pep Boys, I found it at a local shop much like Autozone that mainly deals to business'. It's really a bitch to find.

 

If anyone finds this part (roller) online please post; the washers i'm using aren't workin so well.... thx.

 

Hello,

for what it's worth my window (96 Z) would rattle only when partially down. Full up no rattle. I took the door molding off and found that apparently after several window motor replacements the dealer mechanic removed 2 (3 ?) small bumpers that were rivited to the door skin, these are at the top of the door skin accross from the adjustable bumpers decribed in Shoeboxes how too section.

These bumpers that were removed from my door would have held the window taunt as it went up and down, perhaps the window motor was straining as they held it from rattling. Whatever the case it would only cause your window to rattle when part way down, no rattle all the way up. Check it out and good luck.

 

Here's the part number for the roller: Motormite 74408.

 

Beautiful. Would never have found that.....
With shipping it's gonna run me $23 usd, and I just need the one roller.
Would you happen to have an extra that I can buy off you?

 

I don't have any rollers. I was in Autozone and they had the Dorman/Motormite catalog by the Help section and I looked it up.
