So I went through the Rave manual process to remove the door frame and installed the new window glass with few complications until I got the frame screwed back in. I tested the window to see if everything worked properly and for some reason it sticks when I'm rolling it down. It doesn't stop completely, but you can hear that the motor is under more stress based on the noise that it makes.

Since the bottom part of the frame has some "wiggle room" to adjust its position rather than one screw sized hole like on the sides where the frame fastens to the door is it possible that the frame is not perfectly aligned?

The rollers that are frequently talked about being old on this forum look to be in good condition. Is it possible that they just need a little grease? If so, what kind of grease do they need?

This has become one of those issues that I wish I had just taken it to a shop and paid for them to install the new glass. I don't mind long projects, but I don't like it when all the parts don't fit back together like they should.

 

I'd try loosening all the black window frame bolts and then run the window up/down and see if the bind goes away. Is it an aftermarket replacement piece of glass or an OEM LR glass window?

 

I’ll give that a try. How much should I loosen it up?

It’s an OEM piece of glass from a parts shop.

 

Loosen it enough to where you can move it with a little resistance that way the window going up/down can make it move if that is in what is causing the bind.
