Subject:      Driver's Door Window
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Dear fellow listees-
I could use some advice, and I'm hoping someone has been through this one b4.
Over the weekend, I replaced my lower scraper seals on my front doors.  Everything went pretty smoothly, and I carefully reassembled the doors.  There didn't seem to be any operational problems, as I checked them several times.
They continued to work fine for the next couple of days, with me rolling my windows up and down repeatedly with no further problems until....
Last night I went through the drive-thru for Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and went to roll my window back up, and...nothing...just a loud thump.  Try as I might I couldn't get it to budge.
So, I took the door back apart as soon as I got home, and after looking for a few minutes, found that the window was getting stuck in a notch at the bottom of the window regulator track.  I checked around inside the door, but found no loose pieces floating around.  Is there supposed to be some sort of stopper there?  It's like the window is simply going a couple of millimeters too far down the track, and getting stuck.  I was able to push out on the window and unstick it, but that's not much of a solution.
If someone with an ETKA CD could take a look at the driver's door, and see if there is supposed to be a stopper at the base of the window regulator, I would appreciate it, as I hadn't the time or patience ( I was freezing!) last night to take the passenger door back apart to check for myself.  Also, if you can tell what form that stopper takes, it would be most appreciated.  Of course any other advice in this matter would be helpful too.
BTW, it's an 84 7-passenger with non-powered windows.
Thanks in advance.

-Jason
