By putting my hand up and into the door cavity, I could feel what I think
is some sort of stubby thing that seems like it is preventing the window
from rotating more than 90 degrees, but really hard to tell. I did a search
on the archives and looked on YouTube, but didn't see anything about
modifying or adjusting this window in the later model vans. Does anyone
know of more information about this? I took the van to the shop for
something else, so I'll have to look more when I get it back at the end of
the week.

Cheers?

Gregg
