Hi All,

I just installed new window channel rubber and the inner and outer 'wipers' in the door of my 68. Now the window is exceptionally hard to roll up and down. I did not know how to get to everything in the door so at one point I had the regulator completely unbolted. There was a bang when the last bolt came out. Now I'm wondering if the spring somehow came off the regulator. I never did figure out how to get the window glass and regulator completely out of the door so I haven't been able to do a visual inspection. If anyone has any ideas on this I would greatly appreciate it.

It's not the same, but similar till someone else comes along you might try here
59 Chev resto page

I think there is a removal procedure in it.

It turned out to be worn-out/sprung window regulators. Put in new ones from LMC at 39.00 each and they go up and down easier than I thought possible. Now nice and tight, no rattles and easy up - easy down!

One last note on this, the October 2011 issue of Custom Classic Trucks magazine has an article on replacing door weatherstrip/rubber in the 67 to 72 Chevys. At some point I believe they will publish the article on line.

I hope someone finds this helpful.
