Problem with Window

It has been a while, but I recall it was doable, and my hands are not tiny

The manuals likely explain the process.
This may work for you as well: nichols.nu/tip029.htm

Order the roller and the rivet that retains it.

Move the window to the top and securely tape it in place to give you more room. Repeat - "securely tape it in place" - you do not want a guillotine to fall on your hand!

Unbolt the window regulator - the entire lift motor, gearbox and aluminum arm. Wriggle it out of the door. It will come out more easily if you run the arm to a specific configuration - I'm sorry, but it has been so long since I did this that I don't remember whether the arm should be extended or retracted. Be very careful when you move the arm - it is quick and powerful, and could cause severe personal and property damage.

Once you have the unit out, drill the rivet out, put the new rivet and roller in place, and peen the end of the rivet. Wriggle it back in, feed the roller into the track, and reattach the window.

WYAIT (While You Are In There):
- Lubricate the motor bearings, gearbox and arm joints and gears.
- If your window rattles, you can put a few nylon wire ties around the white window guides, or you can replace them.
- Be sure that you properly replace the plastic water protector sheet. If it is damaged, go to the dollar store and buy a cheap ($1) clear shower curtain.
- Lubricate the door lock, hinges, etc.

Wally has been a highly regarded 928 guru as long as I've been around 928s. He had a more regular presence on the old OC forums. I hope he continues his contributions to this forum here and now. He is of infinite value to anyone who plans on doing any of there own maintenance to their 928 and/or is just getting familiar to them.
