2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Window off track

again99

I have a 2000 Grand Prix S/E, rear passenger side window seems to be off the tracks, how difficult is it to take off the panel and put it back on the tracks? Right now I have wedgies stuffed in there to keep the window up - if not, if falls down by itself. The driver side control has been replaced (due to another problem) so that is not the problem.

Thanks.

If you are fairly mechanically minded, you can get the interior trim off carefully. I suspect you'll find that the cable attaching device. But you'll probably want to replace the whole regulator device that holds and moves the window. Some places on the net repair yours and return it. Check them out.

" I suspect you'll find that the cable attaching device."

I meant to say you'd find the cable at the slide device that moves up and down the track has come out. Often the cable twists and jams things on the H-body Buicks, leSabre and Park Avenue. There are some posts where people have cobbled together fixes for reattaching the cable to the "sled" that holds the glass and moves. Search on the net.

Be warned that after carefully removing the inner door panel, the metal edges you'll work around are sharp from having been cut by the presses. Thin gloves are a help.
