So being my first full resto, I made the mistake of using a lot of reproduction parts due to the originals not being there or destroyed. well needless to say ive had my first issue. The driverside window regulator blew out after about ten uses. its broke internally while at the upholstery shop being rolled down. I had been assisting the window (by hand) from the start due to it being very tight in the felt track. Brothers has already agreed to replace it free but its only a matter of time till the pass side does it as well....

What im curious about is why its so tight and what should be done to possibly resolve this issue.

I will let it be known the window frames are gloss powdercoat so they are a bit thicker then normal but i doubt that would cause all this issue.

just bad production parts?? what should i recommend to the customer to remedy this as I will be leaving monday for air force BMT and only have this weekend after it comes back from upholstery to finish it up. just curious what people have seen or done with this issue.

thanks Marc
