can anyone tell me why when I roll my windows down or up, they fall towards the front of the car. I have torn the doors off and put them in the track and they just continue to fall out. any help would be great.
Thanks Ryan

Hi Ryan,

The door glass runchannel has hardened and/or is sticky becaused oil based lubricants had been used.

Wax/silicone based lubricants would probably provide temporary relief, replacement of the run channels would be recommended.
