Subject:      Power window regulator binding
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

I'm futzing about with my PW regulator today, and found that after cleaning
and lubing the motor, the regulator was binding.  I opened it up, cleaned
out the goop and rust, and then put it back together.  It's binding less,
but still too much.  On a whim, I slacked off the cover screws and found
that it freed all the way up again.  Has anyone experimented with
installing a slightly thicker cover gasket to put less tension on the cable
reel?
