The lithium grease is a good solution. We sometimes use slick 50 synthetic lube on the plastic guide.
Make sure the screws are pulled as tight as possible, or the guide will hang up on them.

I would rather remove and install kick panels than have to deal with 1/4 windows on a Nova. I have thought about disabling the regulators so they cannot be used... Pain in the butt.

Re: 69 Nova window track
 

The windows work properly if all is correct. The nylon guide needs to be intact,many break with age in hot climates. The front rail should be glued with 3M 5200. The farther down the windows are rolled the more effort needed to roll them back up so make a stop to limit drop.If they do stick down, 2 fingers on top edge to lift while cranking will do. Anyone have a source for the nylon guides???

Re: 69 Nova window track
 

I do not know of a source for the special guides, but you are correct - if everything is properly installed and lubed the windows will go all the way down (and back up) with minimal effort.

Did you have any luck with finding the nuts on the backside of that dashpad Chris? Welcome to the Nova world!

Re: 69 Nova window track
 

You can't see too well in this pic, but the pad is off and the headliner just went up for the first fitting.

Is that normal for so much carpet needing to be trimmed?

Can I hijack my own thread? thanks Guys I really appreciate all the help. The kid is really doing all this himself. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Yep, dash pad still off, waiting for a new double three way speaker for the dash, then the A/C ducts before the new dash pad. I'm really impressed with this kids determination.
