NOTE: If the hole in the regulator arm has wallowed out, we suggest using a #10 flat washer over the roller shaft then expanding the roller stud.
Use a punch and hammer to expand the hollow end of the roller stud. Place the regulator arm over the shouldered shaft of the roller and into the regulator arm hole. Clamp a 1/4” drift into a vise and place the indented center stud of the roller directly onto the drift shaft. Step 15ġ5: Have your helper hold the regulator in place. Step 14ġ4: The regulator roller assemblies are removed by drilling out the peened over area on each roller with a 3/16 drill bit. When removing or installing the front glass run channel roller assembly, use a screwdriver to hold the shaft into place while tightening the retaining nut. If you cannot obtain one, a pair of needle nose pliers or a pair of large retaining ring pliers will also work. Step 12ġ2: The glass mounting pads can be removed or installed by using a spanner socket. Remove the regulator retaining bolts and remove the regulator. If you have power windows, disconnect the regulator wiring. Step 11ġ1: Position the regulator arms down so that you can remove the regulator out of the access hole. Step 10ġ0: Now mark the position (Here we drew a circle around each one.) of the regulator channel retaining bolts, then remove them. If the regulator arms accidently close on your fingers, you will make a very fast and painful trip to the hospital. When moving the window regulator be very careful not to have your hands inside of the door anywhere near the regulator arms. You may have to move the regulator arms to remove this channel but this is done by moving the regulator up or down whichever is needed. Step 9Ġ9: Slide the horizontal lower glass channel off of the regulator arm rollers and up and out the rear glass run channel. Carefully pull the window upward and out making certain to clear the roller assemblies through the glass opening in the door. This will allow more room for the glass to be removed. Step 8Ġ8: Adjust the front and rear glass run channel outboard as far as possible. Have your helper hold the glass while you reach up inside of the door and hold the nuts on the back of the horizontal lower glass channel. Step 7Ġ7: Position the window all the way up to line up the horizontal lower glass channel retaining screws and the access holes in the door. This will allow you to remove the lower glass channel and regulator. Step 6Ġ6: The window regulator access cover should now be removed. There are access holes in the door so that they can be removed. Step 5Ġ5: The front and rear glass run channel stops are removed now. The moulding is held in place by small screws at both ends. The weatherstrip is held in by small screws at either end and is clipped to the door in the middle.

Step 1Ġ1: These are the parts that are needed to repair the roller assemblies. Lead Shot: Is this how you get your door glass into place? The hands on pull up. Follow along as we get our door glass back on the right track. Our project 73’s passenger door glass decided to drop down into the door so a call to Zip Products for the needed parts and a few hours was all that we needed to repair the problem. The repair is not very hard and all of the parts are readily available from Zip Corvette Parts, 8067 Fast Lane, Mechanicsville, VA 23111, (800) 962-9632. When they break, the glass has a tendency to roll up at angles or not at all, depending on how many rollers are broken. They are what allows the window to roll up and down freely. There are five nylon rollers that attach to the glass and window regulator and roll in the door and glass run channels. These problems can all be attributed to broken window and regulator roller assemblies. You may also start to roll it up only to have it drop down into the door with a resounding thud or worse, to the sound of breaking glass. One of the most annoying things that can happen to a 68-82 Corvette owner is to start to roll up your window and find it is going up at a severe angle and will not close.
