'70 XR7 Convertible Side Rear Window Issues!

Hello All,

One issue fixed and another crops up! Passenger rear side window is severely misaligned, moves freely by hand and now will not crank up or down…sure this is not new or uncommon…any insights on the fix? I got it back into place and NOT touching it, so good for the short-term but will need to repair at some point.

Here is a short video of the issue:

Also, at some point I need to adjust both front windows as there is a (slight) gap between the top of them and the convertible top itself. No being out in the rain or car washes with my Cat! Any thoughts there?

Thanks all in advance for your help.

Joe V.


Typically it means the window regulator has one of the rollers that fell off. You might want to order 4 of the plastic rollers from WCCC or NPD so you have enough on hand to replace all of them if need be, The shafts often need to be cleaned and greased. The rollers often seize on the shafts due to lack of lubrication and rust.
