    Also lay on the ground and look at the bottom of the door and you will see two bolts for the window track.

    Make sure they are tight.

    Is the the auto movement of 1/4” when the door is opened/closed and the one touch down working on the passenger side? If not, try resetting the limits by opening the window and keep holding the window switch for about 5 seconds after it’s fully opened. Then close the window and hold the switch up for about 5 seconds.

    After that, the window should fully close and the window auto down and the open/close open door adjustment should be working.

    You can adjust the window but you may want to pull the door panel and check that the plastic nut that holds the window is not loose. there two of then. They hold the class to the regulator.

    I will definitely have to do it when someone else is home—would surely hate to be found stuck on my back in the driveway!

    That would be bad. :D The bolts Dave is talking about, you move in the opposite direction you want the window to go. So if the window needs to tilt in you move the bolts out a little.

    Thanks for the info about the regulator nuts.

    None of the interior panels have been reinstalled yet.

    Schultze has been doing very limited motoring with a very nekkid interior.

    Does anyone know the trick to removing this piece?

    It’s the last piece that needs to be removed so I can paint it Glossy Black.

    I've been wanting to permanently remove that weird gas mask wearing clown face and put something a little more generic up there. :eek:

    Attached are pics of the door windows where each kisses the rubber gasket at the roof.

    Driver side is getting a nice, embracing kiss while passenger side is barely giving a peck on the cheek.

    What are the steps to adjust the passenger sides out raises up another 1/4” or so?

    What year is your car? I think this has to be done by the dealer as it's in the software code....not a mechanical adjustment. If it were mechanical, it would involve removing the door panel for access to the mechanism.

    Does that trick work for both 1st and second gen cars? I think she has a second gen based on the pic of the console she's wanting to paint....it has the LEDs.

    It looks like the overhead console of a face lift ‘05 or ‘06.

    Not sure if it works on a 2nd gen, but it’s worked on my ‘05, a couple of Honda’s, and a few Mercedes.

    Yes, both windows drop slightly when opening the door and raise up when door had been closed.

    D goes up all that way as it should.

    P falls short by approximately 1/4”.
