Before I installed my door panels I made sure all the windows, latches, etc. were cleaned and working well.

But after assembling the doors I have a couple of windows that get stiff about 3/4 of the way down. I think they are binding and that there is probably adjustment on the bottom of the window track. Is that correct? I wasn't able to find anything in the service manual.

Also, I'm thinking that I should remove the window trim and door panel, reinstall just the window trim and then adjust the window tracks to remove any binding.

Anyone have experience with this??




And I have to say, that 71 year old door panel looks amazing!!!

Update: The tracks were not the issue! The back door arm rests have a long and short screw, and they were backwards. The long screw must have been putting pressure on something inside the door that was causing the window to get tight. (Both back doors.) This is the way they were when I got the car, so I put them back in the same way. But swap them back and the windows glide up and down just like the should. Glad I didn't have to take my doors all apart!
