Window crank

My drivers door window is catching while rolling up or down. If I push or pull on the window it will start working again. There is a lot of slop in the crank stud. Is there a way to tighten this up or do I just need to get another crank assembly? Thanks.

If you carefully remove the door panel and lube all the tracks/rollers and ck the division bar seal (pt#21546) is not slipped down or out of the track and lube the "regulator", you might be ok.

No adjustment of the regulator, when its worn out its time to replace it. FYI it is still factory it might be riveted in place, just drill them out and the replacement bolts in.

Most of the big parts chain stores can get them. They usually run around 40 bucks or so. At least in my area. They wear out but sometimes you can give them a good cleaning and get some more life out of them.

I'm going to guess it is shot. You can wobble the regulator stub around about a 1/2 inch it is not "tight" at all.
