Manual window on and off track

Post by Sharpeye »

My manual driver's window gets crooked as it gets rolled up. I push on it to set it right, then it rolls up right. Is there an easy fix? Does the door panel pop off?

I have the same problem in mine but I haven't tried to fix it yet.There are problems with earlier years and power windiows that may be related. The problem is more significant for power windows because there is no user feedback of the resistance, the window motor just pushes and some people have had their glass explode. There are recalls against some power window Matrix and VIbes for this, but no recalls for manual window onesIn the power windows cars, there are a couple of bolts that loosen up. There are lots of threads about the problem, but I'd say look at http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=24086 where JohnC posted a word doc about how to fix the power window problem. THe differences between our cars and JohnC's write up are that we don't have the power window control and wiriing to deal with, but we do have to pull the manual window crank, and for that see K-NINE's tip in http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=36570If you do dig into it and find the cause, please post what you find and how you fixed it.

I haven't any details and don't know what you're driving but there is some sort of Vibe window recall out there. You might check with your dealer.Dave
