Fw: Re: [Chrysler300] F window removal

[Bruce Paul <b_paul_ncp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Neal,
 
Gil's advice is very good. Start with the motors and hopefully you won't have to disassemble anything else.
 
I removed each power window motor on my 300G when I acquired the car back in 1982 because none of them worked.  I cleaned and lubricated the insides, freed the brushes, and polished up the commutator on the armature. I also cleaned and lubricated the tracks and linkages as best I could without disassembling them. After 27 years, the windows still go up and down smoothly and quickly without any additional service having been done. 
 
Based on working on the window regulator of a 1967 Imperial that my brother owns, I cannot recommend disassembling the regulator unless you really know that it has a problem. It becomes a hazard to personal safety when it is removed and the spring energy is released.

Neal and All:
I went thru all this with my 300F cvt, and don't remember any particular 
problems. I think it might be a wise first step to remove the motors only on 
the slow windows and clean and lube (not much lube!) them. Also clean up their 
commutators. Some---don't remember how much----of the sliding surfaces can 
also be reached to clean and lube with the regulator still in the car. I had 
to remove the entire regulator/transmiss ion assy, as the lube inside the 
transmission was dried out. The windows had not been operated for over 30 
years. If memory serves, the only time the assist spring pressure comes into play 
is when the transmission is removed from the regulator linkage. Having the 
regulator in the full up position at this time will minimize its effect. 
Hope this is a little helpful.

Hi Group

I'm interested in removing the glass from the doors on my F for the 
purpose of replacing the leather washers and bushings. All the windows 
work but at varying speeds so I thought it's time for some maintenance. 
I can see the clips using a mirror but can't seem to see a way to get 
them off. Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks
