Armed with my (static) vent glass installed with the new seal and track-felt; I installed it and did a temporary alignment of the front track. I also partially installed the window regulator without the motor (for the moment) so that I could get the “up” stop situated, and I ... believe ... that the rear track needs to be aligned as well.
It is at this point that I would like to give a fair warning for the guys who are considering diving into this job. Working with the power window regulator is a real bare. I am not kidding; the amount of room that exists in the door shell is just enough for a young child to get their hands in there to maneuver parts, wrenches, etc.
IF you are considering a removal of your reg (for whatever reason): after you unbolt all the reg-to-door bolts, also remove that lower front track bolt that holds the bottom most portion of the vent-window in place, and also is used for up/down alignment. Then, you will have a little more room to move the reg around and get the solid mounts to free from the glass. ...I am really looking forward to the passenger side, because all the rubber is ready for replacement on that side for me as well, and I just bought 2 of everything hoping that I could replace “in situ” I just don’t see that being an option, YET.
Anyhow: see you in the garage!
