[DeTomaso] Stainless trim around door windows

[Terry Marsh]

Any suggestions on how to proceed if the plastic gear fails in the window full up position?  I tried the emergency tool, but the window will not budge.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Terry

  I sent this to Lynn earlier today - from a post about 6 weeks ago.

  This is from a post of mine earlier.
  Note - you have to take off the inside felt weatherstrip and the
  strip that lies in the glass-run all the way up the rear of the frame.

  Took me 8 hours to get there.
  The window is almost nose down when it comes out.
