Window coming off track

[teetime4one]

if i read this correctly i would have to say no.
there are no type of "stoppers" in or on our windows.
the regulator will accomplish that if it is working properly.
there is no need to reset the teeth on the motor and regulator...it's plug n play.
good luck...hope this helps

Hey React, I still have my panel off so I took a pic of where the teeth are when the window is all the way up in case it looks different than yours.

Oh, I should mention - that is the driver's side.

I just read that you can initialize the windows.

1. Close the door and turn key to on. Fully open window.
2. Fully close window.
3. Hold window button in up position for at least 5 sec after window is closed.
4. Repeat for other window.

yes i have had the SAME problem happen to BOTH windows in ADDITION to the cali sunroof breaking! i have taken it back to the dealership and to a shady mechanic a total of 7 times for both windows. the driver's side window slams against the door if you close the door with the window rolled down - i am waiting for it to break again -- and the passenger side switch is sticking now - as if the lift is going out. i love my car with a passion - i wouldn't trade it in for anything else -- but i've had countless problems with it...

i agree with kimpossible, I love my car for some reason and dont know why. Its cost me more than its worth in the last year in maint. , both windows dont work AGAIN, for the second time now, I will never have heat in the winter, girls dont like it and its slow. why do I still have this car.. good gas mileage and it still runs great!

Dude there is a write up thats good on this. If you follow everything in there your window shouldn't be falling off. I don't know what kind of girls your into but girls always seem to like my Ti. There's also a thread about fixing heating issues. All you have to do is search the threads here in the forum and you will find your answers.

whatever dude, I dont need a car to get girls, just making a point about an old economy car..... not impressive.. sorry. Have another 2002 and the windows are starting to click halfway up.

[elchicano]

Not saying that having a Ti will get you girls at all. You said girls don't like it, I just said that girls say they like my car. There is a fix for the windows, but if your going to give up then enjoy driving with your windows up all the time then.

I have replaced both window regulators and sliders. they lasted one year each. what am I doing wrong. If you know something that I cant find I would be greatfull for the tip, thanks mike

[blackti]

I don't know if you found this yet, but if you follow all the steps in these directions, you will solve the problem:

thanks, my prob is with the vertical track. I guess Its not worth it to me, fastlane for tolls solved all my problems. im just very unhappy with the overall quality and value.

My driver side window dropped yesterday, so I finally get to lose my "window cherry" today. yay. When I removed the door panel yesterday to get the window up, it appeared that the regulator was OK, but the slider had just slipped out of the track.

I'm going to clean/replace the grease and the sliders (both doors) today. Should I replace anything else while I'm in there? E.g., should I replace the rubber strips in the vertical window tracks?

[b.u.ti-ful]

You might get away with just cleaning and greasing the plastic slider area.

But if it falls off again there is a good chance the two channels that guide the window are twisted.

For now, just be sure the rubber/felt is in the vertical channels - I put a little black silicone gasket sealer behind mine to keep it in there.
