1951 B3B Driver door glass won't roll down

[dan01wilson]

Driver door glass will only roll down if I go back and forth several times.  Rolls up ok.  Regulator looks ok with flashlight.

A couple possibilities.  First is dried up lube in the track.  Second is worn out 'felt' window channel.  Third is one end of the scissor regulator is out of it's track.  Something is binding.  Try looking down the window opening with a strong light, otherwise remove handles and the door card to inspect.  Once inside, handling the parts is fiddily.

The front track also might need adjusting.  Also some dry lube in the felts works wonders.
