    Make sure the window is sitting in the track perfectly and that the track itself is still alined.

    hmmm.. It goes up and down, but its tough at different times and all that. how do you keep the seals in place? when i roll my driver's side up, the rubber tracks slightly "compress" or soemthing

    haha my friend is quite cut and buff.. and he can't even get the passenger side. infact, he made the window break loose from the linkages themselves...

    I slipped my finger through the front tracks and there seems to be something in it... I'll see what I can do.. It just pisses me off. going down is fine, going up sucks ^#E$!@!%@%^$&$
