Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

To verify this is the case run the window up, then while looking at the tracks see if the regulator slide contacts a little plastic and rubber stopper before it is all the way down...

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Disregard the airbag plug. I worked around it. Job is done fairly simple job. realignment is probly biggest pain. I still need some help on the pins on the regulator. I have 4 pins/clips that I don't know how they are to be set. I have 2 pushed in and 2 out. window doesn't go all the way down. all but about 1 1/4" at highest point not going down. I figure it's a pin either way. Can't tell from old regulator. Any experience on this?? __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here:

POST 2Original post

I've had this happen a few times in the past. The regulators had an extra stop riveted on to the regulator slide track, and I had to remove the upper one for it to lower all the way down. To verify this is the case run the window up, then while looking at the tracks see if the regulator slide contacts a little plastic and rubber stopper before it is all the way down... If so you must remove this stopper. If there is another one riveted on to the track down lower you're finished. If not, you'll need to rivet the stop you removed on to the lower indentation. - Casey
