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

Hello everyone.. Today I installed a new passenger side window regulator.. install went well and the window was opening and closing ( and indexing w door handle) perfectly. No issues. I buttoned everything back up and still no issues upon retest. I went for a ride later in the day, rolled all the windows down and the passenger side would not up back up.. the motor would work briefly and it felt like the window was being held up on something .. I’m curious if anyone had this problem or adjustments I missed or did incorrectly. Thanks so much

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

FIXED The lower stop needed to be placed in the upper position. The window was going too low and then hanging up when going back up. Everything now is functioning perfectly.
