68 fastback.

My driver side window won't roll up.

For years it's been really stiff to roll up and I've had to pull up on the glass while I crank to close it. I tried lubricating all the moving parts inside but that didn't help.

Now it only goes up 1" and won't crank anymore. I can grab the glass and it's loose, meaning not jammed but the crank will not move.

I also have alot of play in the crank. I have almost one complete turn of play in it.

What is the crank part called?

Do you think that's what's wrong?

Is it a major pain in the butt to change?

I have the door pannel off right now.

I do have the ford shop manual to look at.

Please help cause I can't wash the car to go cruising!

Thanks guys!

the window crank part is called the window regulator. I had to replace mine because I had the exact same problem. The gears in the regulator could be stripped, thats the problem I had, and once I replaced it it was back to normal. You might also want to check the window rollers and see if your missing any or if any are broken.
