door stuck unless window is down

[odm4286]

Ok my door is VERY hard to open from the inside and a little tricky from the outside unless the window is rolled down a little. By little I mean just half a inch and it opens nice and smooth. So anyone have a diy for adjusting the window?

You need to adjust the stops at the bottom of the glass. Check Bentley. You can check my posts too. I just posted a fix for this exact problem a couple weeks ago.

There is a switch in the door catch attached to the body that lowers the window a bit when you open the door.Its called the latch striker- Part#51218205041. $52 @ Pelican.Search this forum and you will find plenty on this and the window adjustment procedure.It is done with the window up/down switch.

That's not what his problem is. That inch down/up feature only works after you pull the handle or close the door. If the window stops are adjusted wrong then the window closes too tight and it actualy jambs the glass up into the car frame. This puts too much pressure on the handle/lock assembly and makes it very hard to open. Adjusting the window stops is easy and it worked for me. The big clue here is that it works just fine if you lower the window even a quarter inch lke he said.
