Ford windstar 2000 Center Power Door Adjustment

[Searles Lewis]

I have a ford windstar 2000. I accidentally broke the rear quarter window while trying to fix a broken roller assembly on it. I replaced the roler assembly, and used wd-40 to clean off the molly I previously used to lube the roller track-the track and prior bracket were bent, and I bent them back. It had been creaking and barely moving, all fixed by WD-40! I had always been told not to use that! Wow, what a relief1

but, the center (it's a 4 door van, center doors are power) doors for the middle bucket seas, the left hand side one I fixed is now overlapping with the replaced rear quarter windows! I have been unable to adjust the half centimeter it needs it stop it from overlapping.

Can I just drill 4 new holes to the right of the current and wrench it in?

The last nut/screw that holds the end of the window seems to have a round joint, so if it is off a little it wil lstil lwork.

will this work?

TIA for the help, and the prior help. I never would have tried Berryman's B-12, nor wd 40 for the roller assembly, ever!

I was able to move the window over, and then now have a problem with the door that the mechanic "fixed" by bending numerous door hanging parts, and now closes perfectly, then backs up.

The window I used a screw, nut and the original parts to just extend out the screw that normal is in the belly-button like metal piece at the end of the window, it works.

Any suggestions for the dumb door not closing all the way all of the time?

You mean the door latches, then breaks loose? Could be that it got "fixed" by the mech in such a way that it doesn't latch properly anymore.
