Re: [Amc-list] Fw: window regulator stripped/suggestions?

I blame it on the removal of vent windows!
That channel held the front of the glass in alignment and kept the regulator from doing that duty to!

My 69s are solid as a rock after 40 years.

Sad to say, they were great in the early 60's, then terrible in 1970. Did
they improve them after that? Man they are crap. No way to decently
lubricate them. Door hinges too, and in Hornets, door skins crack. My 63's:
original hinges, original (probably) window regs. It's a PITA to lube them
(the American's, I took out at part of the car rejuve) but they are like a
new car... if new cars had crank-up windows. Never have to slam the door of
the early cars, just let it go gently... click.

Maybe 70 was a bad year. New design intro. Do the later
Hornet/Concord/Gremlins have those door issues still?
