Reply to "Electric Window Problem"

It was suggested that the passenger side window may not have the correct curvature spec'd out and manufactured on the passender side window. That could be the logical explanation why so many Panteras have a very slow moving passenger side window!

That solution appeals to me even more than having the cat whiskers push on the window to guide it into the channel track closest to the door handle. Further evidence supports this hypothesis: (1) when I tested my 'new' window motor without the window, it was dragging at certain places during the arc. WITHOUT THE WINDOW. (2) when I tried optimizing the window speed adjusting all the variables, and let the guide bar 'float' with the bottom bolt removed, the guide bar moved a considerable distance, at the loose end, where the bolt was disconnected at the bottom. Back and forth at the bottom, as the window went up and down. Ame thing happened wneh I anchored the bottom of the Guide bar and let the top float. It moved at least 0.5". This is the cause & effect of the resistance. It just makes sense.

Suggested remedy: Remove the guide bars on both the L & R windows, set them on the table and see if the arc is the same. Got a bigger project going now, but I'll report my findings later as I get back to this if no one else experiments with this and informs us.
