I replaced the fuzzies, and loosened the felt supports for the window, re-installed the battery and tested to roll up the power window. It turned out the motor was OK and the window started to roll up.
However, something was still wrong I couldn't get the window in the correct position when rolled up. When I carefully rolled the window slightly up and down, the guide pin from the window to the guide track popped out from its plastic "wheel" running in the guide track.
On touch I noticed that all lubricants felt more than glue than lubricant. Apparantly, white lithium grease will be suitable to treat the mechanism.
I hope to be able to pop the guide pin back into the plastic wheel in the guide track. (Replacement parts?)
The door has a large dent in the just below the rear view mirror. I wonder if this could have had anything to do with the window problems.
Any suggestions how to go about this, or where to find replacement parts. Please let me know. It's a 76 Grand prix.
