About a year ago the pass. side window sash went past the rubber bumpers. Now the driver side just did the same. I noticed that the stop plates had pushed away from the window, and the rear rubber cap had been pushed off. I figured that I could put star washers under the fastener heads to help, and put adhesive on the rubber, but I operated the window with the door apart to see what is happening. I can see the stop assemblies and reinforce bracket appear to be heavily loaded as the upper door flexes when the window sash contacts the stops. The forward window frame appears to be a good fit in the door post felt. I have the convertible top down as I am doing this.
When I got the car, the windows did not appear to have been a problem. When I rebuilt the car, I replaced the old power window motors with new GM motors. I have the container one of the new motors came in with the number GM 4999680. I wonder if the new motors are stronger than the old motors?
Someone suggested that I might try an ignition ballast resister in the window circuit to reduce voltage to the window motors, taking some load off the window stops.
I am looking for suggestions and help.
