996 1999 - Door not lowering ENOUGH

[FRZ951]

Hi guys. First I have read a lot on people which have a NO DROP (which isn't my case) but I didn't find a lot of threads on people which the window doesn't drop enough.

Problem with the window, passenger side.

What is working:
(Door closed) - Lowering and raising the window completely.
(Door open) - Raising the window, the window stop at the good place to close the door and then the window raise. Each time

Not working:
(Door closed) - Window drop about 1/8".

I can hear the motor activating the drop but for a very short time. My door panel is also removed. I have about 1/4" dropped between the stoppers.

When I lower the window and then I raise it, the window stop at the good position as mentioned in the What is working, and between the stoppers I have a good 2" maybe I didn't measured it but that's a lot compared to when I want to open the door.

I tried to reset the window position holding the window button, I also tried to stretch the cable..

Why the window it stopping properly when raising it, but when I want to open the door, the drop is not correct..

If you can move the glass by hand at mid-position, your cable is stretched. You can try adding nylon ties at the green plastic bits to add tension. If not then it time for new regulator.

Actually I can move the glass by hand and drop it more more about 1 inch. But I wrote to my friend and he told me he replaced the whole regulator for a cheap brand.. for an unknown reason!

So from what I have read and what he said to me, everything seems to point to the regulator. I will just buy a brand new regulator this winter while the car sleeps and I will replace it. It should fix the problem!

I will update this thread for sure once done.
