Title: how to get window on scissor track
Post by: turpentyne on October 04, 2014, 01:50:31 pm
Ok, I give up. I have struggled with this for a long hour. One of the track wheels came off of the driver's side window on my 73 Chevy C20. I found all the parts in the door. i put the wheels back in the window track, but how in the name of every single thing that is holy, do I get the stupid roller and screw into the hole on the backside of the scissor portion? There's no way to see it, no way to reach it, no way to guide it in, no hole close enough or large enough to go through on the front half of the door.

Without taking the whole mechanism out, what's the secret to putting this window back on it's track?

Sorry for the frustration, My arm is all scraped up from trying to reach around through the hole in the door to do this - to no avail.

I would pull the regulator out to repeir it. Be just as easy to pop in a new, or used one.

Confused.  The rollers are pressed into the scissors?  I am not sure what you are talking about...

The rollers are made on the arm

If the roller fell Off it's broken

You can put it back on with a thin headed bolt avail at a hardware store

I think the bolts are made for furniture.  Has a real thin head wih a recessed hex hole

You gotta pull the scissor regulator out and fix the roller and reinstall

There's a couple threads on here about how to remove the regulator     It's fun
