Power door window repair 1988 Grand Wagoneer

The white plastic tractor track feed broke and I hate paying retail.
I've scoured the net and youtube for a video on how to replace this
but can only get sketchy instructions. Seems I can unbolt the window
and slide all the way up and hold it up with shims placed in the
weatherstrip in the door to keep it up. I have a four foot piece of
the plastic track. I just need to know the steps I need to follow to
slide the broken piece out and the new one in.

TIA

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/FSJ-List/ has members that will know!
They even know where to buy those tracks NEW and inexpensively too!

I might suggest you email this fellow...

Saul Schapiro at

He sells a complete window repair kit for each Wagoneer window,
complete with all the components necessary to repair the nylon drive
chain, and very good step-by-step instructions on how to do it. I
have done this repair, according to Saul's instructions, and it
turned a very daunting job into a manageable one.

Good luck!

Hi mark,
If your truck were newer, you could run the vehicle's VIN number for
it's build slip via a Dealer or Jeep's contact via their home page and
request a build sheet. Yours may be still caught in your front seat's
springs.
