window alignment. It is off the rails so it is staying closed by duct tape. How do
I fix this?

I thought i would also add, that when I try to roll the window up, nothing happens except I hear the window motor running. It also is angled forward.

Thanks

seems like your gonna have to pull the interior panel off.

smash your window with a rock and say vandals did it. Then have your insurance pay to fix it of course.

Gotta pull the door inner panel off, and see what's messed up with the lift mechanism. Could be broken, could have a bolt that fell out. No way to guess, just gotta pull it apart and check it out!

Now that's some lazy repair work there!

But seriously, listen to Cory, you're just gonna have to pop the door panel off. Chances are whatever's wrong will be obvious and usually as easy to fix as loose bolt.

That would be a serious violation of insurance law. You know this club's stance on illegal car-related jackassery. We don't want a bunch of insurance auditors showing up at meets hassling members because somebody was talking about doing something illegal on the forums.

Your girlfriend needs to slap a sense of humor into you. To think that I gave you tax advice!

WD40 works really well too. Just make sure to wash it off afterwords.
