Tailgate window
I recently bought a 1994 Bronco with 170000 miles. I replaced the rear window motor but it still is not working right. The glass will go down about 6 inches and stop. Someone has to "help" the window lower and raise while also operating the switch. The key switch was bad so I bypassed it. The dash switch is still working. Is there any adjustment to make? Any ideas? Thanks

The rubber/felt liner inside the track had deteriorated and torn on my 93. As the window slid down to about the halfway mark, the tear would turn over and start to bind the window. I was able to use a box cutter with a sharp blade to trim about 1 inch of the felt near the tear which kept it from binding.
I also lubed both tracks with some silicon oil. It has been about 6 months and so far so good.

There is also a small amout of adjustment to the inner window tracks if you are careful. There is a track at each said eof the gate and the mounting bolts heads are in the sides. Try loosening one at a time...NEVER ALL FOUR AT ONCE the glass will suffer if you do. Who me? The voice of experience..nahhh...not me..well not too often.

You will have to do this with the gate open and then close it again each time but you are more likely to find the real drag issue this way. If when you loosen one of the bolts, the window tracks freely and doesn't need any help going back down you can then open the gate and retighten the bolt in position. Keep repeating the process one bolt at a time until the window moves freely.
