Okay, heres the deal, I just got done replacing my window motor to find out that the stupid plug's connector was broken. So the plug comes loose every once and a while. I figured that out after i bought a replacement window motor and tore apart the whole window assembly 2 times. :hammer:

Anywho, my question is I got everything back up and running but I cant seem to get the alignment right when i rollup the window. I fucked around with the bolts that stop the window from rolling up too far when I took apart the whole thing and now when I roll up the winow, there is a gap between the window and the weather stripping. But the funny thing is, when i roll up the winow with the door open, and then i close the door, the window sits right.. no gap.. But if I roll up the window with the door closed, there is a little gap. Im speaking of the part where u can stick a close hanger through when you lock your keys in the car.

So I was wondering if anyone can help me out. Sorry if my situation seems a little unclear.

Oh, and that plastic film that covers the door when you take off the door pannel, is that really nessessary to be there besides protecting electric stuff from water and whatnot?

Your interior will get water vapor inside easier without it and will be a little bit noisier.

Download the FSM for your car, there's a detailed instruction page on adjusting the window. It usually takes a good hour to get it right if you've altered any of the original points.

I've taken the plastic off on several of my cars and it has never caused any problems.
