Well I was replacing the front speakers in the GP GT, along with a new window for the front passenger door.. Before the motor never worked.. I have no clue what I did but it started one day working so thats a plus :) So I got the window in now and that all works good..

And the front driver window had a problem and would only roll down about an inch or so.. Well since I had the door panel off on that side, I dug into that problem. Got the window out and the window motor off..

Only to find this :evil:

The cable on the left is how it was supposed to look..lol

So needless to say, I just ordered a new regulator from rockauto.. Should be here Thursday. Hope it don't rain before then.. :???:

Pull the window up to the top and shove a wedge (wood or plastic) between the window and door at the bottom of the glass. IF you have aftermarket tint be sure to put the wedge on the outside.

I park it in the garage when I'm home. It's just while I'm at work it's exposed.. I just looked at the 10 day weather forecast and there calling for PM rain on Thursday so hopefully the part will come in before then. If not, I can deal with a bag over the window for the day..lol
