General Maintenance & Repairs - Ok I got one of the new t top gaskets in now I have another problem.

It seems that the window isnt up all the way and it's leaking even worse then before, I have to replace the driver side window we took the door panel off and tried to adjust it but theres like a gap between the window and new gasket. I can feel it pressing against the door whenever I close it it's just the seal around the window. What should I Do? Oh and the window wobbles too a lil bit we tried to adjust the stops on top of the door panel.

Something is F-ed. Maybe have a shop look at it.

Suggest you check two things first to make sure your window mechanism is OK. First, check to make sure your rear guide is OK:

Also, check to make sure you don't have a torn inner pannel where the regulator is attached to the door as pictured in this thread:

Either issue is relatively common and can keep the window from going up the entire way.

Luckly my cars been unmolested when it comes to the window motors, I have a friend who's got a body shop and they are going to do it for damn near free. I know to use rivets and not nuts and bolts. Should I buy the whole regulator and motor? I already have the motor it's a new ACI motor from my store, I work for advance auto parts.

You shouldn't need a new regulator. If your rollers are flat-spotted, you can order new ones from Doorman and if the regulator sticks, you can re-lube it with Syl-Glyde.

You can also remove the motor without removing the regulator with some strategically drilled holes in the door. (This makes the job a lot easier - especially when you go in later to cash in the lifetime warranty on that motor.)

Have you looked inside the door to see how your regulator and rear track are holding up? If either of those are at issue, you've got bigger things to worry about.

Yeah I had a friend look at it when we had the door panel off and he said it's out of adjustment. I dont even know where to begin when i'm looking at window motor and regulator. Believe it or not the windows not leaking now I was at work and it started to pour out yeah gotta love south florida and when I went to go on lunch i got in and everything was dry.
