Window won't crank up - Driver Side 1970 Cuda

FIAARMN · April 19, 2020, 12:19:35 PM

So, some of you may know we are getting the Cuda ready to ship. the drivers window wont crank past a 1/4 way up. We really don't want to pull the panel off but it is looking like we will have to. I tried some forum and internet searches, but wi-fi is horrible right now and I simply don't have the time with the amount of things we need to do with the other vehicles we have to move and get loaded on the transport Tuesday. Any suggestions, things to look at, adjustments, thoughts would be greatly appreciated!! You all have been great and I am trouble shooting as we go. i don't want to ship this on a trailer with the window down and I don't want to tape any plastic to the vehicle either

Likely going to have to remove the interior panel at least to see what's going on. Often times the front track hardware comes loose off of the glass and can jamb up inside the front track. Maybe try wiggling the glass as you try to roll it up ???? Who knows...

Remote mirror cable control routed incorrectly? Seem to recall I had an issue with that at some point.

fingers crossed

Window went up, took another person lifting and wiggle back and forth the window as someone cranked it.

This will be added to the list of things to address!!!

LIKELY SOMETHING JAMBED in the front track...common issue

I'm a Mopar guy through and through but I can tell you one weak point on these cars is the door window system. Real heavy windows and the hardware/tracks could have been a bit more beefier.

good think to know. I will look at fixing, don't ant to replace as I do believe its original to the car

Cleaning & greasing will get you a long way , 50 year old grease gets hard !

Synthetic grease, or brake caliper grease is what i use.
