78 bronco rear window
I've got a 78 bronco, and every time I roll up the rear window the arms pop out of the washers inside of the tracks attached to the window, I've been trying to adjust the side tracks but I can't get them right does anybody know what else I can do?

I am thinking that the glue/sealant that holds the glass itself into the track has degraded, and has become offcentered, thereby causing your wheel to pop out. I would recommend taking it to a glass shop so they can center it again and clean the track. They should have special glue/sealant to hold the glass back in. This happened on an 88 F150 I had, and they had just the cure for it.

Actually you are the second person in the past week or so to post such a problem. As I understand it, the little pastic carriers at the ends of the regulator arms are popping off the ball studs. Sounds like it could be a glass alignment problem but if not, the carriers may just be worn or cracked (inspect closely). JBG sells the replacements. The difficulty is that the replacements are sold pre-assembled so you must remove the ballstud from the regulator arm as well as the plastic carrier and then replace them both. Basically they look to be a factory-assembled part that probably must be replaced if they separate.
