I believe I attached the regulator to the door with the glass removed. Then the glass was installed. Then the window frame installed with loose bolts. With the frame loose rock the frame in&out or to the left and right of the door position. This will give you a heads up on the attachment&allignment of the frame. I then rolled the glass up&down to give me the least restriction of the glass&frame felt. If we're ok so far take note how the top of the window frame sits in the rubber molding in case it leaks air when driven.

the glass metal support should be open to the inside of the car so you can see the rollers in the support.

Also note that the proper position of mounting the metal support to the glass is with the guide channel extending beyond the part that attaches to the glass. Check all this so we know the metal support isn't reversed.

also I assume you have the original regulator that is only supported by the regulator body at the door. The new style has an additional support attached to one of the two arms that connects the regulator to glass support ?

The old style has a measurement of 8.8mm space from the foreward glass edge to the foreward metal support.

party hearty
