Hey Guys,

I have a 93 drop top and the pwr windows work but they are sloppy. Real sloppy. I'm thinking just a bushing or somthing but all four windows need help. Any ideas?

Thanks

My hatch has similar issues with both sides...they work, but don't do so smoothly and sound terrible when left cracked and you close the door.

Anyway, let us know someone!

front windows or back? the vert windows up front have a couple glide bushings (that i recall) which wear out. resto houses sell them, but they are kind of a pain to install, since the guide track needs some manipulation.

good luck.

Both front and quarters. Not sure what to do about the quarters but I found the track guides you spoke of on 50resto. I attached the link. Hopefully this will do it. I'm tired of the getto windows. Happy I wont have to deal with it when i get my 2000, but I'll miss the ol' pushrod.

yeah, i think those look right (it has been a long time since i looked at it though). i found a U-shaped bushing that fit, so i used it instead (so i would not have to remove the guide dealie). you have taken the inner door panel off to check stuff out, right? sometimes an adjustment and some cleaning/greasing does a lot (the rails have bolts for adjustment).

my rear windows are jacked - i need to tear it all apart. so let me know what you find and how it goes. ill do the same if i do it first. and if you know of new rear window gears and/or brush kits, let me know. i cant find any.

good luck.
