Door Window Problem
I have a 1977 F-100 and when I roll the driver's side door window down it falls to rear. I have to push it forward with my hand to make it roll down straight. Same for when I try to roll it up.
What can cause this?
I just replaced the anti rattle kit and had no problems with the install, everything looks ok.
Thanks,
Steve

D6AZ-5323240-A .. Window Roller-also used on ALL Ford passenger cars 1973 thru 1979 (and later).
Available from your local Ford dealer (Ford list price $7.88) and NAPA, which can cross the above part number over to their brand.

i just recently put my windows in my doors after some rust proofing was done lol. the instal as you say for the weather strippnig and anti rattle kit was fairly easy. i had this problem and still to a little bit once the windown is like almost down. it tilts towads the back. i sprayed some liquid wrench on the rivit part of the wheel. then i put some grease on the channel. rolled it up a few times. you will have to actually put the grease where you want it with your finger because the wheel sometimes doesn't spin and just slides. kinda weird idk i'm guessing its not suppose to slide. i prob just put to much grease on it lol

In Mil1ions parts illustration above ^^^ the window roller Ford basic part number is given as 262A32.
That part number however, was ONLY used on 1973/75 F100/350's and 1973/79 Crew Cab rear doors (the full part number is: C8SZ-57262A32-A).
1976 and later F100/350's used D6AZ-5323240-A window roller...it's a different design and doesn't resemble the earlier type shown above.
The OP has a 1977 model.

I inspected the roller and it looked to be in good condition. While working the regulator, I noticed it flexing as the window went down. I was missing the bottom bolt that held it to the door. Don't know how I missed it last time but it would allow the regulator to move forward just enough to let the window fall back. Anyway, thanks for the help!
