[DeTomaso] How long for windows to open/close?

[michael frazier]

I think the problem is akin to the Bermuda Triangle or Roswell.  I had the windows apart on several cars, aligned everything,
the window moved freely up & down, motor and arms worked smoothly, everything lined up with no binding, and it would 
slow down 2/3rds of the way up.  Repeat 5 or 6 times, this time making sure the arc of the control arm and the window path
follow each other, all with the same result.  Resign yourself to the fact that this is how it's supposed to be, and a few days later
it will begin working like you want it to.  That's how I do it...sacrificing a chicken doesn't hurt either.
