I am convinced there is a man that's probably 90 years old now living in area 51 that was solely in charge of adjusting windows and installing weatherstrips in 87 to 93 convertibles back in the day and they keep him in a Hanibal Lecter cage after he lost his mind from all the years doing this ,if you have one of these cars and you wake up one morning and say to yourself "man that weatherstrip has a little crack in it, i think ill change it" DON'T, leave it be until it has to be absolutely done and dont fuck with any adjustments on anything unless it needs it bad. I love these cars and at the present own a vert and a hardtop and Ive had plenty of them over the years, the convertibles will test you patience like the vault at Fort Knox,babysitting 7 screaming kids?no worries,Ive worked on a convertible windows and weatherstrip, i can take anything,ill file 1 inch piece of steel down to a 1/8 with a ladies nail file before messing with any window adjustment in these cars,now a hardtop?? piece of cake.
That is some funny shit 😆🤣. I'm about to tackle the quarter windows and window motors on my 88lx vert. It's bothered me now after 3 years of driving car with top down and quarter glass up. I am really dredding the repair as I have already gotten the side panels out car just waiting on the kit from lmr.
Bless you for making this incredible video! I'm just now starting this hellacious job on my 7up. I feel confident in my ability after watching your detailed tutorial. Thank you!!!
I gotta say this is probably the best video for that job. a few years back i ordered the same parts for my 90 droptop fox red with white top and went off lmrs video and way to go and was a horrible unfinished project until now. you have skills man keep posting vids. thanks
Outstanding presentation and explanations. Thank you so much for your devotion and details. There is no reason anybody shouldn't be able to do this project by following your steps and details, given the time and patience, plus resources, to do it.
Excellent video. The LMR video basically omits any real information and will leave you lost. Your video will help a lot of people understand how to do this repair.
Thanks for the video. You did an excellent job covering each detail and the important parts that can cause a bit of frustration. I appreciate you. I have a 94 Mustang GT 5.0 . I feel confident replacing my rear widow motor. Thanks Mr. Juggler
@RaymondUrias you seriously go in depth to where it's easily understandable for the more complicated things which is greatly appreciated especially for these dang verts
Just want to say, I really appreciate the time and torture you put yourself through to produce this. Repairing the quarters in my recently acquired 91 lx 5.0 currently so this is greatly appreciated.
4 minutes in and I already love the tip about the organizer to hold the parts... great idea! I need to do this on my '87 Foxbody vert... so I look forward to watching the rest of the video.
I have been dealing with this rear quarter windows issue for years….thank you for posting your install and adjustments…..i now understand what the guide plates do…..big thank you!
I’ve had the lmr repair kit for almost a year now and I’ve been too afraid to tackle it because I have learned first hand how easy they make things look in their install videos. Thank you for posting a real world install! After watching I think it’s finally time to tackle this project next weekend since it’s a 3 day weekend lol.
Yes 3 day weekend would be perfect!! Make sure you organize your screws or it will turn into a 6 day project lol. You will be fine. Any questions feel free to ask me
Started doing this today. Not too bad. Took an hour to pull both sides apart, took another hours to replace the bushings and the bottom mounts, an hour to reinstall and then 3hrs to adjust both sides to perfect. Yea, it was a PITA but in all honesty as long as you take pics of everything and don't rush its not too bad. The adjusting was frustrating at times and I walked away a few times but all in all a job the is doable as long as you have some mechanical background. Glad I found this video for advice on what not to loosen up, that was the # factor that saved my day. Thanks for the video! Now to replace control arms, springs and beef up the stabilizer bars.
Damn! I wish I would have found your video before I took it apart. I followed LMR. The only reason I found your video is that they took theirs down. I am about to give up. Anyone in Tucson ? I'll pay lol. This is by far the best video. Thank you sir!
Thanks for taking the time to document this process. It's been so helpful. I've watched it a number of times. One thing, I wish you had shown how you got the window out of the car. I've twisted and turned it every angle I can think of and can't get it to clear the inside body brace to come out. I replaced the bushings and cleaned it up 'in the car but it would have been easier out of the car. Thanks again for the video, it saved my life!!
Awesome 👍 To get the rod out you have to push the window all the way up and towards the engine bay as high as you possibly can and then you're going to push up on the rod and then you're going to pull it out kind of diagonally towards the engine bay area once the rod is out the window just comes right out through the same big opening. It's tricky but not that bad once you got the trick figured out.
OMG. I’m losing my mind trying to get the glass out. Gonna have to leave it in because I’m sure I’m going to shatter it. Most frustrating part of the whole process!!
Great video very detailed thank you much..I have a 88gt convertible that I attempted to change the driver side quarter window guide bushings🙄I wish I watched this video first🙏🏾
Hands down the best video on how to perform maintenance on these windows! I got lucky and it was just a motor but I'm going back in anyways to replace the window guide rod bushings
Here we go the FULL step by step Rear window tutorial! Every step broken down to make it super easy for you to do.... I know this will be boring for some, I apologize.
@@RaymondUrias I think a lot of people that own w204's regret you selling it cause you made hands down the best videos for that car. I changed my c350's steering wheel and gear shifter thanks to your video and plan on using your vids to do a bunch of other mods, like the morimoto lights, sub install, back up camera install, etc. i can't wait. and your w204 was beautiful man, clean ( no stupid carbon fiber ), and you put some serious work into it. So i can believe the regret. I hope whoever got it is taking care of it.
There is GT vert for sale and the rear glass motor needs to be replaced..NOW I know WHY!! This is not an easy fix and could be expensive to get it done if you can find someone who can do a good job like you did. Great video BTW!! 👍
Definitely 3 out of 5 wrenches. Most verts don't fix it and never roll their rear windows down. Don't know what they were smoking when they thought this design up
Fantastic video - thanks so much for these great instructions. Two deviations I made though. Easier to install new motor when that whole assembly is out of the car. And I STRUGGLED getting the rod back through my new bushings while it was attached to the base bracket. I took the rod out and it fit right into the window bracket THEN I mounted to the base while it was in the car. Neither way is easy, but for me it was easier than your method. Thanks again!
I think I can recite the video from memory now. My passenger side window got slower and slower until it wouldn't raise. Finally got it apart and jumped it with my 12V car starter and it was fine in both directions. Switch test resulted in 12v at the power connector. Cleaned up the contacts, added dielectric compound. Cycled the window at least a dozen times. Came back after about 2h and put the car away across our condo complex (0.1mi). Window wouldn't move. Motor couldn't be jumped. Switch still delivering power. Swapped the motor and it's working fine, go figure. The motor seems to labor as it moves up, so I will clean the actuator rod (it's a little sticky with aged grease) the best I can. This particular window has a ton of slop in it when it is all the way down, but the cant and tilt is where it needs to be in order to seal. Is the slop from a lack of pressure from the weatherstripping? Thanks, All.
Based off my experience and what you're describing, it sounds like the motor had not been replaced in a long time, which means that the original motor finally bit the bullet. But typically when the motor goes, the bushings that keep the guide rod in place begins to break up. Unfortunately this is going to require the removal that whole thing to replace those bushings. I really do wish that somebody would make those bushings out of a better material than that black flimsy stuff. Maybe some polyurethane material would be nice then you never have to do this again. Weather stripping plays big factor in the window alignment as well. If your weather is stripping is shot and you have none then there's no pressure being applied to the window to keep it tight. That's why if you read the forums or if you've ever done this before when you replace your weather stripping you have to realign that rear window all over again because it's going to put pressure on the window as it's coming up which is going to screw up the alignment. This is why I recommend to do everything all at once while you're working on that area of the car because more than likely you will never want to revisit that part of your car ever again lol
Thanks for the rapid reply! Good news is I bought the entire rebuild kit from LMR for both sides. “Soon the time will come to do what is right, versus what is easy”. -Wizards and DIY car guys. Owned the car since new (‘92 LX), btw.
Thank you sir, lots of useful information here. I bought a convertible used and somebody replaced The guide rod bushings and that metal piece on the bottom. I can barely get the (manual) window to roll down . I will be studying your video closely. Thank you again.
@@garythorpe9925 so you're telling me not only do you have the most badass version of the fox body you're also where they filmed mad Max! That's awesome
@@RaymondUrias lol , i have necer watched any of the MM movies Raymond. But yes, they do have a cult following. Funnily enough, there was a sequel made, so they tell me, and my neighbour owns the one rwmaining ute used in that movie. He brings it to Cars n Coffee and creates a storm. Lol
Windows in my 93 are stuck up for some reason, assuming off track since I can hear the motors spinning. I need to do this, and replace almost all my weather trim (No leakage inside, but cracked pretty bad) but I’ve been putting it off in fear of messing up the rag top. Thank you for the video, definitely saving this for when I tackle it.
They are stuck up because the bushings are destroyed and it pushing the gearing away from the motor. If you push the window inward and down while you push the button, it will go down. No need to fear just take your time
@@RaymondUrias Thank you for that! I already have the motors on hand and I’m now going to order the bushings as well. I figured if I’m actually going to do this job, might as well swap the motors while I’m there because I’d like to not do it again. I guess I’ll do it all and hopefully not have to worry for some years.
Here is just an additional note in dealing with the removal of the top rear seat cushion. The factory design makes it hard to get to the bolts holding that cushion in place, both for removal and reinstall. The last time I remove the seats, I used perforated metal pipe strapping and created an extension for both the seat back and the flange that the seat attaches to. I then bolted those extensions to the flange and to the seat, then installed the seat and bolted the extensions together. It took about 30 minutes to do the initial set up, but now removing the seat bolts is about a one minute process! 😂
great video my quarter windows for my 92 mustang don’t even go up but it seems like when they go up they get stuck but this was really helpful thank you 🙌,js subscribed 2.
@@RaymondUrias do you have any suggestions on the windows? Mine moves a lot but when I put the window up with the button it makes the sound but the window does not want to go up any tips?
Raymond....im an doing what you did yo your now. I bought an 89 and am going through it with a fine comb and replacing things. I am doing the top now and everything involved with that is getting replaced.
Thank you very much for this deteailed Video from germany. I hope i can get all parts i need because lmr doesnt send overseas....only CJ Pony. Best regards! Many Thanks
I watched your video and have been replacing most of the parts in my foxbody thank you for that. Do you know what size C-Clip that was at the bottom of the window regulator arm? Thanks
This is what I have in my garage Incase I loose one Hilitchi 380-Pcs [14-Size] E-Clip Circlip External Retaining Ring Assortment Set - 304 Stainless Steel www.amazon.com/dp/B079BPCRZN/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_R3HEZP3NCZNSX1YGRA48 Best part is that it's stainless so no rust
Thanks so much for this great video!! I made the dire mistake if removing both plates after rebuilding and regreasing everything, and now have to align from scratch. One thing...it seems there is an additional adjustment where the guide rod mounts at the very bottom where it mounts to the body. I believe you can adjust the entire window toward or away from the engine with the slots. It seems you left it attached but I removed everything. Its going to be a while until Ill be able to align them 😞
Great video! My only question to you is in my situation where I actually have to replace the rear glass, does the glass slide out of the top or do you need to lower it and pull it out the side Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you.
I'll finally be able to afford some American tools!!!!

Hi, Your video was super helpful. Unfortunitally I don't have the skills to take this on. Would you know anyone in North Carolina (ideally close to Raleigh) who could help us with our 92 Mustang Convertable. Let us know your thoughts and thank you in advance for your consideration and help. Thank you in advance for your help.
I do not. Strongly recommend not doing that yourself. I have worked on cars for a large part of my life and that is a project that I would much rather just pay somebody that knows what they're doing. Just getting the parts alone can get expensive
@@RaymondUrias - I don’t know man. I listened several times and put it in front of a panel of experts, and they all agreed. Plus, it was right after you said the word “butt”. That was some clever foreshadowing of what was to come. Great storytelling here.
@@Foxedup LMFAO I'm dying here. I'm confident I bumped into a Plastic container on the ground. But if the jury says I farted then I'm headed to the big house 😅
@@RaymondUrias LOL seriously it was a great video with lots of good tips. I’m going to do this to mine soon and will make a video, as well. I’ll give you some plugs!
@@Foxedup If you have any problems just shoot me a picture and I'll gladly help you out some people have been doing that and it seems that there's a lot more fixed convertibles out there in the world now. And if you're in Florida, South Florida can definitely meet up if you get stuck
The pin comes out it's just a cotter pin but that will disconnect the rod. The rivets have to be drilled out please for the love of God don't do the LMR smashing method
Hola amigo Raymond , saludos!! Aprovecho tu canal para preguntarte a ti y a tus seguidores. Qué tipo de transmisión es la que tiene el Mustang 92 2.3 lts automático Convertible.?
@@akiledavis125 yeah if your windows are stuck just pop the motor off take off that c-clip and the window will just drop down. Or just replace the motor and it should go up and down easily
@@akiledavis125 probably. If you have a multimeter you can check it but you will need two people. One person's going to press the switch. The other person is going to check to see if voltage is getting to the motor. If there is voltage at the motor and the motor is not working then you need a new motor. Luckily that is a super quick fix.
Is there any adjustments to the regulator if the new motor gear doesn’t align back with the regulator gear when installing? The new lmr motor shaft seems to be the same length as factory but when bolted up is like 2-4 mm to short! If I get it to grab it slips off after window moves a few inches. Window worked perfect until motor stopped working just doing a motor swap but won’t align back up gear to gear! Thx
There are no adjustments to the regulator that I am aware of. When you installed your motor you took the regulator out correct. You didn't install it while it had a load on it.
I have one question. So I did the install and I have a gap between the rear and front window. Do I adjust the bolts at the bottom of the guide rod plate. Or do I adjust the bottom and top bolts on the actual window itself? I'm trying to move the forward cant I think
Do not touch the front window, common mistake. Only work on the rear window. Adjust the bolts and don't give up it takes alot of time to get it perfect
Swapping out the hydraulic motor is not difficult it's a very dirty job you're going to get hydraulic fluid everywhere. If you have to replace the Pistons they're a little bit trickier when I recommend is pinching the line hopefully your line isn't old and doesn't brutally break. Then just swapping up the piston it's just a tough spot to work in
There is a local shop by me that charges 1200 per side plus taxes. To me that's ALOT of money and it's something you can definitely do just have to be patient. Their book has it for 5 shop hours per side.
@@RaymondUrias thx I had a guy sell me a car told me they worked come to find out the motor bushings are shot and the alignments off so I’m stuck with his headache:(
@@marklathem3735 then you have bad bushings. When they are bad like that they will push the window motor off the track and it will sound like a machine gun trying to go up
@@RaymondUrias I have disassembled the whole area I took the motor off of the metal panel and the gear is turning but when I put it back on it would not turn the large gear
Hi I’m working on mine currently I’m at the point where I’m adjusting the window to move back and forth towards the front and back of the car. My issue is the 7/16 bolt that you have to adjust doesn’t have slots for it to move up and down for the window to move forward towards the front of the car or backwards towards the back of the car. Can you please help. I’m so close just need to get better detail how to adjust
The top two bolts control the outward towards the street and the inward toward the inside of the car. The bottom two bolts control the forward towards the engine and the backward towards the trunk. There are a total of four of those bolts two on the top and two on the bottom.
I am convinced there is a man that's probably 90 years old now living in area 51 that was solely in charge of adjusting windows and installing weatherstrips in 87 to 93 convertibles back in the day and they keep him in a Hanibal Lecter cage after he lost his mind from all the years doing this ,if you have one of these cars and you wake up one morning and say to yourself "man that weatherstrip has a little crack in it, i think ill change it" DON'T, leave it be until it has to be absolutely done and dont fuck with any adjustments on anything unless it needs it bad.

They are stuck up because the bushings are destroyed and it pushing the gearing away from the motor. If you push the window inward and down while you push the button, it will go down.
No need to fear just take your time
@@RaymondUrias Thank you for that! I already have the motors on hand and I’m now going to order the bushings as well. I figured if I’m actually going to do this job, might as well swap the motors while I’m there because I’d like to not do it again. I guess I’ll do it all and hopefully not have to worry for some years.
@@_Livid_ hahahah your damn right fix everything in there and walk away!
I have to go through this on my 88 vert. This video is 41 minutes of pure anxiety! LOL
Here is just an additional note in dealing with the removal of the top rear seat cushion.
The factory design makes it hard to get to the bolts holding that cushion in place, both for removal and reinstall.
The last time I remove the seats, I used perforated metal pipe strapping and created an extension for both the seat back and the flange that the seat attaches to. I then bolted those extensions to the flange and to the seat, then installed the seat and bolted the extensions together.
It took about 30 minutes to do the initial set up, but now removing the seat bolts is about a one minute process! 😂
great video my quarter windows for my 92 mustang don’t even go up but it seems like when they go up they get stuck but this was really helpful thank you 🙌,js subscribed 2.
Awesome man!!! Can't say thank you enough for the feed back
@@RaymondUrias do you have any suggestions on the windows? Mine moves a lot but when I put the window up with the button it makes the sound but the window does not want to go up any tips?
@@chinov.1274 If it sounds like a machine gun then it's probably just the motor. If the window feels loose then it's the carrier
Yo también pierdo los tornillos cuando hago reparaciones. Copiaré tu idea de la caja con separaciones y notas para cada pieza. Gracias 😄
Raymond....im an doing what you did yo your now. I bought an 89 and am going through it with a fine comb and replacing things. I am doing the top now and everything involved with that is getting replaced.
Thank you very much for this deteailed Video from germany. I hope i can get all parts i need because lmr doesnt send overseas....only CJ Pony.
Best regards! Many Thanks
This was great. Can you do a video on aligning front door glass on a convertible?
❤❤❤❤looove every part of the video, great instructinal as well, u should probably.working in a dealership!!!
Hahaha I use to, it was fun but not anymore this is easy compared to tail lights that control your f150's air conditioning
My man! Good video!!!
It's such a nice shade of red
Part of me wants to get the whole car repainted and add metallic flake what are your thoughts on that?
I watched your video and have been replacing most of the parts in my foxbody thank you for that. Do you know what size C-Clip that was at the bottom of the window regulator arm?
Thanks
This is what I have in my garage Incase I loose one
Hilitchi 380-Pcs [14-Size] E-Clip Circlip External Retaining Ring Assortment Set - 304 Stainless Steel www.amazon.com/dp/B079BPCRZN/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_R3HEZP3NCZNSX1YGRA48
Best part is that it's stainless so no rust
Thanks so much for this great video!! I made the dire mistake if removing both plates after rebuilding and regreasing everything, and now have to align from scratch. One thing...it seems there is an additional adjustment where the guide rod mounts at the very bottom where it mounts to the body. I believe you can adjust the entire window toward or away from the engine with the slots. It seems you left it attached but I removed everything. Its going to be a while until Ill be able to align them 😞
It will be worth it when you are done. You are correct you can move the entire rod towards and away the body.
I currently have to get those plastics off with a roll cage in the way😅
Looks like those two washers are missing that go with the c-clip. Got the measurements for those?
The direction that you pushed the seat bottom was rearword, not forward, but Im watching
Would you replace mine if I shipped the car to you? I’d pay, of course. Name your price. You do great work!
If you live in Florida I'd help you! Dunno about shipping lol
I love Florida! I wouldn’t mind a road trip.
Sounds like a plan!
Facts!
Anyone know where to.replace the rubber bushings in centre of the adjustment. Not the 2 plastic replacement bushings . The rubber ones?
Great video! My only question to you is in my situation where I actually have to replace the rear glass, does the glass slide out of the top or do you need to lower it and pull it out the side Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you.
@21:00
It comes out the top
“It’s tiiiiiiiiiiight!” “That’s what she said!”
Giggity
This video was awesome man! I'm going to Venmo you some money so you're not using Walmart Chineseyum tools!
I'll finally be able to afford some American tools!!!!
Hi, Your video was super helpful. Unfortunitally I don't have the skills to take this on. Would you know anyone in North Carolina (ideally close to Raleigh) who could help us with our 92 Mustang Convertable. Let us know your thoughts and thank you in advance for your consideration and help. Thank you in advance for your help.

He can help you out
I have the sa me car, did you give me the numbers parts you use.
24:15 did you blow a fart? LOL great video!
Maybe lol
What was the bracket piece from LMR called?
ITS TIIIIIIGHT!!!! dude that’s predator creepy !!
So tight lol
Do you have a list of all the part numbers by chance?
Raymond 1'000,000 thanks. From México.
Do you have a video for replacing the top? What tools are needed?
I do not. Strongly recommend not doing that yourself. I have worked on cars for a large part of my life and that is a project that I would much rather just pay somebody that knows what they're doing. Just getting the parts alone can get expensive
@@RaymondUrias thank you for your response. I followed your video and was able to do the rear quarter window. So thanks again.
Tengo un Mustang 92 2.3 lts. No entra 4ta velocidad. A qué crees que se deba
❤
Great video! The only problem I found was the fart at 24:15.
LMFAO 🤣
Definitely not a fart.
@@RaymondUrias - I don’t know man. I listened several times and put it in front of a panel of experts, and they all agreed. Plus, it was right after you said the word “butt”. That was some clever foreshadowing of what was to come. Great storytelling here.
@@Foxedup LMFAO I'm dying here. I'm confident I bumped into a Plastic container on the ground. But if the jury says I farted then I'm headed to the big house 😅
@@RaymondUrias LOL seriously it was a great video with lots of good tips. I’m going to do this to mine soon and will make a video, as well. I’ll give you some plugs!
@@Foxedup If you have any problems just shoot me a picture and I'll gladly help you out some people have been doing that and it seems that there's a lot more fixed convertibles out there in the world now. And if you're in Florida, South Florida can definitely meet up if you get stuck
23:18 did that pin just come right out or did you pull the arm out?
The pin comes out it's just a cotter pin but that will disconnect the rod. The rivets have to be drilled out please for the love of God don't do the LMR smashing method
Hola amigo Raymond , saludos!! Aprovecho tu canal para preguntarte a ti y a tus seguidores. Qué tipo de transmisión es la que tiene el Mustang 92 2.3 lts automático Convertible.?
Mine has the AOD but it's the 5.0
I just installed 3.7 gears and it really woke it up. But you can't do that on the 2.3
@@RaymondUrias muchas gracias! Saludos
Where are you located I need to send you my car do you have a contact info
I don't do this full time lol this is just a hobby that I have experience with. I could help you out if you are in South Florida
Raymond, I just sent you an email about some specific questions that I had.
How did you alive the window out mine doesn’t?
Huh? How did I get what out
What if your windows are stuck in the up position? Do you remove the motor first then the c - clip?
@@akiledavis125 yeah if your windows are stuck just pop the motor off take off that c-clip and the window will just drop down. Or just replace the motor and it should go up and down easily
@@RaymondUrias so in that case it’s my motor that’s out?
@@akiledavis125 probably. If you have a multimeter you can check it but you will need two people. One person's going to press the switch. The other person is going to check to see if voltage is getting to the motor. If there is voltage at the motor and the motor is not working then you need a new motor. Luckily that is a super quick fix.
we love tight.
Can you do mine for me please?
Is there any adjustments to the regulator if the new motor gear doesn’t align back with the regulator gear when installing? The new lmr motor shaft seems to be the same length as factory but when bolted up is like 2-4 mm to short! If I get it to grab it slips off after window moves a few inches. Window worked perfect until motor stopped working just doing a motor swap but won’t align back up gear to gear! Thx
There are no adjustments to the regulator that I am aware of. When you installed your motor you took the regulator out correct. You didn't install it while it had a load on it.
I have one question. So I did the install and I have a gap between the rear and front window. Do I adjust the bolts at the bottom of the guide rod plate. Or do I adjust the bottom and top bolts on the actual window itself? I'm trying to move the forward cant I think
Do not touch the front window, common mistake. Only work on the rear window. Adjust the bolts and don't give up it takes alot of time to get it perfect
@@RaymondUrias Ok so just the bolts for the guide rod? Not the ones attached to the rear window
@@korbynwalshdrums8766 4 bolts on carrier assembly and the 2 bolts on floor of the rod are the only ones you need to touch
@@RaymondUrias Thank you sir!
@@RaymondUrias I had the window aligned but just slightly off so I adjusted it and now I can't get it back 😭
You can help me with a reemplace top Cylinder hydraulic Mustang 92?
Swapping out the hydraulic motor is not difficult it's a very dirty job you're going to get hydraulic fluid everywhere. If you have to replace the Pistons they're a little bit trickier when I recommend is pinching the line hopefully your line isn't old and doesn't brutally break. Then just swapping up the piston it's just a tough spot to work in
How much to have a shop do the work?
There is a local shop by me that charges 1200 per side plus taxes. To me that's ALOT of money and it's something you can definitely do just have to be patient. Their book has it for 5 shop hours per side.
@@RaymondUrias thx I had a guy sell me a car told me they worked come to find out the motor bushings are shot and the alignments off so I’m stuck with his headache:(
It is definitely a headache! Takes a solid weekend per side. Take your time and you can do it
I have the same exact car I am fixing to have to go through that my passenger rear window will not roll up
Did you try fixing the motor first
I haven't done anything to the car yet
@@RaymondUrias the motor runs but the window seems to be off track or something it would not roll up
@@marklathem3735 then you have bad bushings. When they are bad like that they will push the window motor off the track and it will sound like a machine gun trying to go up
@@RaymondUrias I have disassembled the whole area I took the motor off of the metal panel and the gear is turning but when I put it back on it would not turn the large gear
38:18
and
38:31
Hi I’m working on mine currently I’m at the point where I’m adjusting the window to move back and forth towards the front and back of the car. My issue is the 7/16 bolt that you have to adjust doesn’t have slots for it to move up and down for the window to move forward towards the front of the car or backwards towards the back of the car. Can you please help. I’m so close just need to get better detail how to adjust
The top two bolts control the outward towards the street and the inward toward the inside of the car.
The bottom two bolts control the forward towards the engine and the backward towards the trunk.
There are a total of four of those bolts two on the top and two on the bottom.
@20:00
You don't have any of those bolts? All Foxbodies as of my knowledge are identical window carrier
@@RaymondUrias are the two bolts on the bottom have the heads of the bolts on the bottom of the carrier?
@@matthewshephard1172 yes they are upside down
@@RaymondUrias do you loosen it position the glass going forward towards the engine and then tighten it?
Es português ???
How much you charge lol ill pay
If its a 41 min video instruction u know its gonna freakin suck to do this. Errrrr
