Just bought this 1986 Bronco 5.0l with manual trans, UPDATE - Couple more questions, Help!

[johnnyreb]

Well notice where it STOPS and look in the runner--it could be dry or oput of alignment. Try some type of oil in the runner and see if it travels more. That could be your problem.

Ialso seen on hear.Where the piece that goes across on the bottom of the window had RUSTED OUT. So check it ALL OUT.

Well if its hot their or in he hot sun. Wait till it cools down. Get where its cool and think about what all it could be. Working in the heat and sun can makes things alot more miserable and harder. Step back and take a good look at the seams and the window are. .Then think about the motor. Old dried up grease can be your problem in the motor. Then it could be inside the tail gate.A bad wire. You,ll find it and I have confidence in you--we all do..Just take your time and you,ll see the problem--remeber 3 areas-alignment of window---motor and tailgate area parts.

Also if it just quit--check the fuse or dash switch.

Alot of time it just needs the dried up grease and dirt cleaned out and put a little grease on the gear. Remeber--the more grease put in--the more dirt it will attract and hold. It just needs a little.

Thanks man. I really appreciate your insight on all this!

Quite alright. I believe in helping anyone if I can be of some help. Will you need any pictures of the inside parts--to look out for bad areas?

 

[johnnyreb]

This bar lies below the window and you can see what rusted out and caused the window not to work right--one reason to check everything--while you have it apart and fix all of it while your at it. Good luck.

Just take your time and watch everything is not in the way. Its been awhile since I took mine out. The window was broken. It was a hot day in the summer and I had just scraped the mud out behind the back tires. I walked around and just closed the dorr and thought I heard more mud fall down. I started to walk around and see and their was the back wind in many--many piece--its tempered glass . You might want to get help taking it out. Its kind of awkard. My motor was bolted in. I heard some say theirs was riveted in. You,ll know when you see it. If its riveted in.Drill them out and get the same size bolts and about the a little longer. Because you,ll want to add lock washers to secure the taps.

 

[johnnyreb]

This is how big the piece is that holds the motor .Now you might have to fold up the ends to get it out.Whick is now problem. If your afraid of getting your hands cut. Get a heavy duty leather pair of gloves on. Mine has been cut some many times. I cuss and go on. Its part of the language of bronco tinkering.

Make sure you unhook the battery .So no power will be going to it and no shock in case their is a bad wire. You should have some help you take the window out. Accidents do happen quickly and glass is not cheap.

Yes that is the best way. I have it all and have to put it all in. I took (think) I got all the mechanical stuff and all the rubber stuff bought. I have a Ram I am about to start getting parts for it. I,ll run the bronco for the next year. While I get parts for the Ram. Trying to get my friend to do it.

Get back and look at both sides. Get closer and look at each side. Push on one side--then the other.
