    yes, i live about 10 minutes north of bloomington. and yes, i can do the window mods, actually in about an hour for each door, maybe less? just depends on the fine tuning. there is an ace hardware pretty close, but if i knew you were coming up, i could go ahead and get the bolts and washers, and what-not.
    pm me if you want to try and do this.
    i was just saying two weeks in my angle for a two week vacation in hawaii in exchange for 3 dollars in parts to fix a couple of windows

    i cant guarantee that this will "fix" your window, if its moving slow, but if its poppin out of the track, tilting, that kind of stuff, the mods help, if not cure that. i was just saying that my sluggishness was caused by the motor trying to push the window where it wasnt supposed to be going. mods fixed that.

    It seems like it takes so much effort to type like that. AnD wHaT i ReAlLy DoN't GeT iS wHeN pEoPlE tYpE lIkE tHiS. Dang that's a pain!!

    As for the window fix, please document what you find to work best for you, as like I said, there still isn't one universal fix. My passenger side window is completely dead now, because I believe the binding stresses out the motor, causing the slowing at first, then eventually it will die. I probably won't need it much in the winter, but when spring rolls around I'll need the airflow again. (See, there I go with those "SEASONS" again, right LDub?)
