Window problem

[SpoolinV8ETR]

When ever i roll up my window the back kicks out and off the track. Therefor it wont go up evenly. I have to hold it in place with one hand and roll it up with the other. Any ideas? Everynow and then it does this on the pass side. as well

The window tracks are dirty. It's a very common problem. Just take a rag and spray some like armorall down in the track and wipe it out till it comes out clean. This may take a while. Do the tracks inside of the door panel also. You can lube the track afterwards if you would like to but it just makes it collect more dirt quicker in my opinion and the windows will begin to come off track again.

hehe me too. Makes me feel like a douchebag.

Word on the street is the lever that pushes the window up has come off center, or is loose or something, so it's not pushing straight up. There is an article on it somewhere. VFAQ probably, or google it.

I'm too lazy, haven't gotten to it yet, but once the door panel is off, I'm sure you will see the problem.

Good luck and let me know how it goes, maybe it will inspire me to do it too!

ours does that, I had a look at it and the nylon bushing that operates in the slider is worn a bit and moves around a bit, damn plastic
