Passenger 55 mph window | Joined: Feb 2018 Posts: 224 Likes: 19 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Feb 2018 Posts: 224 Likes: 19 | Is there an ajustment for the "tri angle" windows? My drivers window will stay open at 55 mph, but the passenger window will start to close at any speed over 30 mph. | | | Re: Passenger 55 mph window | Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 95 Likes: 7 journeyman | journeyman Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 95 Likes: 7 | Yes. There's a spring underneath. Tighten the spring and it'll apply pressure and keep the window open. This will require going inside the door though. Not quite a 5 minute fix.

Too much tension and over time the lower pivot shaft can break off. | | | Re: Passenger 55 mph window | Joined: Feb 2018 Posts: 224 Likes: 19 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Feb 2018 Posts: 224 Likes: 19 | That is really good to know Tuner. Ok, should I go in increments of 1/4 turns or are we talking full turns? Is it righty tighty also? | | | Re: Passenger 55 mph window | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 2,969 Likes: 64 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 2,969 Likes: 64 | Might want to spray the area with penetrating oil before trying to adjust. | | | Re: Passenger 55 mph window | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,879 Likes: 242 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,879 Likes: 242 | It should look very much like this: IMG_4166 by shagedemus, on Flickr Borrowed this picture from Shaggy. | | | Re: Passenger 55 mph window | Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 1,015 Likes: 19 old hand | old hand Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 1,015 Likes: 19 | That is really good to know Tuner.

I think I turned it 1 full turn or something like that. Just be careful.

No probs Catfish. You will see the adjuster nut at the bottom there... but if you look closely you will notice the washer above the nut has two tabs that hold the nut in place. The centre hole of the washer isn't round it has a flat in it that matches a flat side of the shaft preventing the nut from turning. So you will have to prise open those tabs , adjust the nut then squeeze the tabs back to grab the nut in it's new position. Before you do that LOOK FOR RUST! If you see any then I would leave it the way it is as that bolt will likely shear before the nut breaks loose. Hit it with some penetrating fluid even if it's not rusty just to be on the safe side.
