 :rofl:  I don't know, go ahead and send it to me and I'll take a closer look.   :rofl:  (I can never find enough of those washers.  They're always missing!)

So is this metal washer on both ends or just where the metal triangle piece is?  And all bolts that go through the glass need a rubber sleeve . . .  :thinking:  I will have to do some digging and see if I can find these washers.  I guess I can go and look in the extra pair of doors that I have at my moms.

Metal washer only on the triangle plate end. The other end has a nylon insert in the window, which is in your picture. :bradsthumb:

So if I can't find these washers . .  Does anyone sell them?   I'm gonna dig through my parts bin but I doubt I'll find one . . Wouldn't surprise me if I need one for the other side as well . . .  :dunno:

Look in the bottom of your door :alan2cents:

I will look through the vacuum and see what I can find . . . Cleaned the bottom of the door pretty good already . . .

After looking through your links, I need to go to the hardware store and see what I can find.  I have a hardware store in my little town here that has an incredible amount of nuts and bolts!  Pretty much everything!

So I have the drivers side door glass installed and most of the adjustments lose but it is really hard to roll up?  I got it about half way but stopped as I don't want to break it.  So what are the tricks I need to know to get this aligned properly?  Do I need to lube the tracks with anything?  I still have some of the guides with the fur on them out . . . If that matters . .

It should not be binding at all if it's all loose on the adjustments.   :thinking:

Cuda Cody

I use white lithium grease (not the spray type) on the tracks before I put them together.  You need to find what is binding.  It's only going to get worse once you tighten everything up.
