More cruise parts coming in

Finally got the cruise control lever. It is a new unit. I bought it on Ebay. All went south when the seller sent it to some place in the US by mistake. I contacted UPS and logged a problem with delivery. Things started to happen, but I couldn’t follow them very well. It seems to have been sent back to Ebay and one day it appeared on my mailbox by the regular postal service which was nice as I didn’t have to pay any extra fees for delivery or even tax! I am still waiting on the transducer which is coming from Sydney NS – about 5 hours away and it’s been two weeks or more and Canada Post has yet to deliver!

Meanwhile it’s back to working on the drivers door to see if I can get it to roll up to the top with the door closed and also to get it to fit behind the clips on the upper front door seal. I’ve installed new window rollers on the regulator. I missed taking a photo to show the difference between the old and new rollers. The new rollers are different. The shank is about 1/8″ longer. It doesn’t seem to make any difference in the window operation except that the back of the front roller catches on the electric motor mounting bolt when the lower door cover is not in place. Once in place it draws the motor away from the roller mount. I also filed some off the motor mounting bolt to give more clearance. The other problem is that the mounting end of the roller splits when it is peened to the regulator arm. Maybe that is expected. I don’t know, but they seem to be holding on OK.

There is no way I can seem to get the window to fit properly so that it can be moved to to the top with the door closed. There is something basically wrong. I have yet to figure it out. I’m taking a bit of time to work on it. I’ll take the door panel off the passenger door and do some comparing. I can already see that the passenger door window sits at least a 1/4″ further back as compared to the driver’s door window. The front window track seems to regulate just how far the window sits to the rear.
