Default Drivers window sucking inner window felt down into door

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgNj4bG6Lzc

anyone ever have this happen? started like a week ago. I haven't pulled the door panel yet, but i will.

when i roll the window down, it starts to pull the window felt down into the door starting from the very back edge of the felt.

it doesn't always do this, but when it does, pulling on the door panel or pushing on the window doesn't seem to help very much.

any ideas before i pull the panel off?

I would try Shin-etsu grease. I put it on all of the rubber parts on my windows and soft top a few times a year.

there's felt on the inside of those strips. you dont want grease on the felt. it's just going to smear the grease all over the window.

pulled up some diagrams off majestic, looks like the track could be loose. will deal with it saturday.

Seems your window has fallen off the rails...you'll need to pull the panel off in order to confirm. It's super easy and would only take about 5 min to take the panel off

Nick,

I had the same issue. I fixed mine this evening though. Once you have the door panel off you need a 12mm socket to loosen and tighten the adjustment bolt. It's on the top left hand corner of the door. Don't adjust it fully snug or the motor takes forever to push and pull the window down. I put mine at about 90% and it seemed to work just fine. When you are done clip the panel back on but leave the screws out. Test that it works with everything clipped back in place (which I did not do grrrr). I also tested that both windows went up and down at the same speed. After you should be good to go.

yep, i did mine yesterday, but i didn't move it too much and though it's better, it still yanks it down from time to time. with how easy it is to get the panel off, i'll probably redo it today.

Yup mine started pulling the strip down as well I'll have to test different settings to see what setting is the most effective. *sigh*
