They have to bend/flex slightly as well to allow the window to fall out. If you don't straighten them out/realign them, they're not going to fix themselves. Sometimes they don't need any adjustment, sometimes they need a lot. It's one of those steps though, if you skip it, you'll probably end up doing this again later down the road Don't forget to clean and replace that sticky white grease on the sliders and tracks, that's what causes the sliders to bind in the first place. |
I did not slam the door. The glass seems to be riding on the vertical guides really smooth. So the vertical guides must be straight.
I did straighten the regulator arms so they lined up with the plastic slider and it pops right in the slider and I did not have to force the ball into the slider to put the spring clip. It lined up pretty good.
I cleaned the slider guide and sliders of old hard grease and lubed it with new bearing grease.
Thanks for the tips, and I hope the window stays in place so I can put the panel back in. Otherwise, I will have to pull the vertical guides and be able to straighten the bent section if it pops back out again.
