Door window glass stuck


Recommended Posts

Current project is replacing window door seal (anti-rattle) on drivers side.  Have panel, tape off, and have followed the steps in the workshop manual (1-5) to remove door window.  Have the window loose and the ventilator assembly loose, but the window seems stuck toward the rear of the door.  I can lift the front part, but not the back, so I can't remove it.  What did I miss?

With the 2 regulator arms popped out of the lower window track and the 3 bolts and 2 nuts removed from the ventilator (with the 2 screws turned in) the window should lift right up and out (while tilting the ventilator forward and slightly up).   Double check and be sure the regulator arms at the bottom of the window track are popped completely out of the bushings

Greg, were you ever able to get your window out? 

On my Avanti, the top of the (rear) window track was pinched at the factory. I had to open the end of the track back to the original opening size. After I do everything to the mechanism, and put the window back in, I plan to pinch it semi closed again.
