Dales90 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I think I remember from my 84 that the mechanism contains a perforated nylon tape that can dry out and crack apart leaving the motor to spin with no operation. I took it to a glass shop back in that day and they had a roll of the tape and fabricated a fix. Dale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SledDriver Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Remove lower seat cushion. Top down. loosen rear interior panel (no need to remove just loosen the top for access) Remove the two nuts on the top and get a very long extension (I welded a socket to a long pipe) to get the single bolt on the bottom. When the three bolts are out the whole assembly with glass, motor, and frame will lift from the top. Probably the nylon tape you can still get replacements as it was used in many different Manufactures for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayadog Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Where are the bolts on the rear lower cushion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_John Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Yes...the correct nylon tape replacement is still out there. The "HELP" products found on a "tree display stand" at many auto parts stores, including NAPA, used to include this power window tape. Don't know if that's still the case.
