Nope, it's not the gear or the mechanical parts. I removed the glass from the mechanism so that it's loose, not mounted to anything. It sticks about three inches down and takes a fair amount of force to push it into the door. I removed the felt channel on the front window runner and the glass, loose now, dropped down unhindered.
The mystery is why the felt channel should be gripping the glass so vehemently. It seems to be in very good condition. I tried wetting the channel but that didn't help.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
John
