One piece door window problems - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have the One Piece Products door glass kit and have installed them but they are hard to roll up and the windows lean in towards the inside of cab. OPP says the reregulators may be bad for the hard to roll up problem. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

If it was the regulators wouldn't they have been hard to roll up before the conversion too then?

Try rolling it up with one hand while pulling up on the glass with the other. If it's still like you're working against more than gravity, I don't think it's the regulators, probably more like too much friction in the channels/tracks that it runs in. Just a guess though.

My truck has a one piece electric kit in it and it does the exact same thing:

1) windows will not go up without help, a lot of help.

2) when they are not all the way up or down, the glass leans in toward the interior

My opinion is that while one piece looks cool, the original wing glass is cool. I'll be seriously considering going back to original once I get a number of other projects completed.

I never thought this was a good idea since they came out with them. Has anyone had success with these one piece windows ?
