Well first I'd like to say I just bought an '83 Grand Wagoneer earlier today. My fiance' has always wanted one so I bought my uncle's that he used as a hunt club truck. I plan to start restoring it back to factory for her as a wedding present.
Ok so now to the issue at hand..The front driver's side window doesn't work. My uncle had taken it apart to replace the broken flex track but never got around to finishing the job. I got a flex track already but I can't figure out how to get it on the track correctly. the motor and track rail were already unbolted in the door..and I can slide the flex track onto the rail until it gets down to the motor. Once its to the motor, I bump the motor to get it to carry the flex track through it...but the gear keeps popping out of the motor and I can't keep good pressure on the gear to keep it on the shaft of the motor while I run the track through it because when I hit the window switch..the whole assembly moves in the door, and then the gear pops off and the 4 springs that are in it fall down into the bottom of the door.
I know theres a trick to this thing, but I just can't figure it out! 3 hours spent on it and then I broke the flex track on accident.
Any insight or instruction?
