Crank up window help

[javelinadave]

I'm on the road for the next 21 days and my drivers side window won't crank up. I can pull it up and crank and it stays but I really need a hack to get me back to civilization.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Spray WD40 down the guides. Worked on mine

No dice.

Is it "skipping" as you try to roll the window up? If so tighten the bolt to the window crank (10mm, i think).

You'll need to break down and take the door card off and take a look on the inside, its not too much of a pain. Just need 10mm socket, phillips, and a flat head helps.

The gear teeth are about gone. Brian Hall is mailing one out to Alaskaptain in Denali.
The trucks are needing a bit of love which they will get there.

Good luck Dave! - would love to hear a post trip report on how the trucks did and what they needed along the way, or will need when you guys make it back

I am probably one of the few that does not like roll-up windows.
When the window is down you get blasted with air right upside the head or you get nothing.
With the double sliders, you can open the front and the air blows past you, but doesn't blast the side of your head and face.

No you don't...
