Window goes off track

Remove door panel and check the bolts holding on the window regulator for tightness, also look at the window regulator, its possible its bent and needs replacement

Hi alan suschanke,

Try spraying some silicone or wax lubricants on the door glass runchannel to see if it helps. Front area is most suspect, try using water to test.

Dead run channel will cause high friction resulting in the slanting glass when going up.

There are no adjustments available.

Start with lubeing the window tracks. You can buy a specific spray on dry lube for this, if the motor is labouring, you may want to remove the trim and lube the winder mechanism, see how that works first.

Today I got time and try it the way described in answer but no out come.
Is any other possibilities? Pl. Let me know so I can follow according.

Looking for your help.

Thanks

Do you mean it get's off track?Without removing the door panel to see what's going on it's hard to say how much it will cost without know what's wrong with it.

Do you have manual or power windows?

Let's say worse case it's a broken window regulator that would be 1.3hr's labor time's shop labor rate 80-100 per hr?The regulator with motor is 45 plus shipping depending on where you buy it.

If your handy with tool's and want to save some money you could always pull the inner door panel off and fix it yourself.

Check the door runchannel. If they are bad, they can restrict the door glass movement causing it to go off track. Try some silicone based lubricant onto the runchannel where the door glass slides up. It might require repeated movement up and down to get the door glass moving smoothly again. DO NOT use oil based lubricants such as WD40, they would agrave the problem as oil would damage the runchannels causing the door glass to stick to the runchannels.

Remove the door panel and check the regulator to see if it is securely held. If yes, you would have to replace the runchannel.
