RE: Driver window
I had the same problem this past weekend. What POS plastic wheel.
Here is how I fixed it
Home Depot
Nylon SPACERS
I bought a 1" outside diameter spacer that was 3/8" thick/deepand had a hole (inside diameter)large enough to go over the retaining metal (I think 5/8")
I bought a smaller nylon spacer that was (I think) 5/8" outside diameter and had a 3/8" hole (inside diameter)
The idea is that the little axel is 3/8" but the retaining metal is 5/8" (again, measure that I forget for sure)
I cut the small 3/8 spacer so that it was same length as the axel, then sliced it so that I could slide it onto the axel
Now I had an axel that was uniformly 5/8" (again... check that)
Now, I could slide on the 1" spacer and have a wheel
But wait, there is more
That 3/8" thick 1" outside space wheel had to be ground down. The actual wheel rides in that little channel
So I got my dremel out and ground down that 1" outside diameter spacer so that part was the full 1" outside diameter and part was small enough to slide into the channel
Bang... done. Wish I would have taken pictures. I think my wheel is way better than the original.
Sounds complicated, but it was very simple. It took longer to get the panel off then back on that it took to grind down the pieces. I had about 3 hours in the task including travel time and figuring out how to deal with it.
I am selling my Land Rover. I am tired of this kind of crap.
I have a 2003 with 31k miles and going to take a bath on it. I went out and bought a Chevy Truck Z71.
Good Luck
