Windows don't close completely

Post by 54woody »

The windows on the front doors of my traveller roll all the way down, but go up to about 3/4" from the top and that's it. Both sides do the same thing. There doesn't appear to be anything physically blocking the window. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong but it's difficult / impossible to see what's going on in there, even with the inside trim panel removed. Has anybody else had this problem and found the rememdy?

There is a screw at the top of the door frame ( on the "B" pillar side of the door ) . If the felt rubber in the channel slips down the window can hit it and will not go all the way up. On my cars the top inch or so of the base of the "U" shaped felt rubber has been cut off to clear the screw head, if that has not been done the window might not have enough room to move to the top of the frame
