"loose" one piece windows any cures? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Custom 68 · 04-04-2011, 10:54 AM

I installed my Brothers one piece window kit a couple years ago. The look and work great with one exception. They are loose in the tracks. This is especially problematic when driving and wanting to roll the windows up as they tend to be pulled out at speeds over say 50 or so. If I slow down they dont give me the fits.
I just had a regulator go out so im thinking of going power but this worries me as i will have to be cautious when rolling them up. I have seen reference on here that this is somewhat normal. Has anybody made any adjustments to help with this? I have tried a few things but not much change. This is nothing I cant live with but would like it better if possible.
Thanks
David

thanks but that is a different "brand" I think, Mine has the small metal triangles in the front corners and I didnt have any of the installation issues. They are just "lose" from side to side. This seems to be somewhat common on these.
