After way too much work of trying to get my door windows in, I am stuck. I have ideas to solve but they are not great.
The problem: the new mylar inserts appear to jam in the wing channel or are very tight. Thus the windows jam up or are very tight.
What Ive done: I wire brushed the channel and cleaned it with lacquer thinner. I sanded down the nylon clips to make sure they weren’t the cause of the jam. They are not. I also used the factory clips no luck. I left the back clip in and took out the front clip to feed the assembly in the wing channel with no clip! Still way too tight.
It appears that the mylar is just too much for the clean factory wing channel.
The only idea left is to trim the mylar sleeve. I don’t like this idea but it’s all I can come up with.
Other ideas?
