Reply to "Electric Window Problem"

My final set up to get the passenger side window functioning at optimum speed was to put the bolt back in at the bottom of the slider, leave a little play in the bottom right wheel that goes up the slider, and put three washers under the bolt that holds the slider bar to the top frame of the door sheet metal.

The window slides in the front channel, like my driver side window. It was catching on the 'U' shaped rubber with felt that runs up from the back of the door by the door handle. It was folding that over and getting stuck, so I devised a way to adjust the window angle to match the angle of the channel at that location. The cat whiskers at the bottom of the window, on the outside were lifted up with a screwdriver, and I used a #6x3/8 zinc phillips screw to adjust the cat whiskers to push the window in towards the channel, then screwed the new cat whiskers back in place over the top of the phillips #6x3/8 screw, which acted as an adjustment screw (and I had to adjust it a few times). Passenger side window speed: 5 seconds down, 6 seconds up. Driver side window speed: 3 seconds up and 3 seconds down. Why is this? Other Pantera guys can't even use the passenger side window. Why always the passenger side window?

Anyway, now I gotta figure out why the passenger side door lock doesn't operate from the outside. I like to let my lady in first! All the heavy guage wire is attached to those little clips on the end and are functioning. I think I'm gonna have to completely dissassemble the lock mechanism itself.

Good luck Cozman! Hope I saved yuou some time. Got me motivated to get it done, but I'm gonna go back later and do the Aerostar motors upgrade.
