Re: window

I've heard of all sorts of crazy stuff happening with GA and Alero windows, at least on the 2 doors.

On mine, the drivers side window has some nasty scrapes on the glass and at sometimes you can hear scratchy noises as it's going up or down.

A friend of mine had the driver's side window in his Alero lock up like yours and then if I remember correctly, it shattered.

**edit** of course, my memory could be completely wrong on that last part...

Re: window

not sure of your exact problem but on my '99 the peice that grips the window just up and broke. The dealer was very familiar with this part and had one handy. I try not to slam the door closed with the window half or all the way down as I believe this may contribute to it breaking things.

Re: window

Yeah I think Jim hit the nail on the head on this one.
Slammin the doors, not good on N bodies

Jmoney, I'm not sure either what you are talking about, but here's a link with our GA's window disassembly for replacing the regulator. Might help....
