Window Rail / Runner

I'm sure some of you guys have deadened your doors. Looking primarily for response from the sedan guys as I think coupes may be different.

I'm having issues getting the window rails / runner aligned with that black metal piece covering the door. On the coupe I believe there is a bolt that comes from the inside of the door and a nut that screws on from where the black piece is.

For the sedan, I think it's just a bolt with a washer on it that goes directly onto the black metal piece into the window rail to keep the rail from sliding.

Anyone have pics with their door panel off exposing all the bolts on the door panel or know what it's supposed to be like?

Thanks for the link....there's one pic I found that shows what I'm talking about.

As circled, you can see the coupe has bolts in it coming from behind the window runner.



I'm wondering if the sedan is the same. Here is a pic of mine before I removed everything:



What I recall is them being bolts that go through the black metal piece and into the window runner. After I remove the bolts, this is how it looked:



As you can see, I don't have a bolt sticking out as shown in the first pic. That's why I'm wondering if the coupe and sedan are different. Or maybe if they are, I need to mimic how it's done with the coupe.

I can't see your pics for about 12 more hours since I'm at work. If you're not doing this any time soon (month or so) I'll have a full write-up from when I do my car.

Headunit + amps + speakers + 4080 + sub + deadening.
Gonna be a fun few days.

So you're just having trouble re-assembling it now?

Check out page 77:

Well, getting the runner lined up with the black piece. I finally got it, and it didn't take much effort or time this time around.

The sedan is different. As I had recalled the sedan has bolts that go into the black metal piece and then into the window runner. The coupe has a bolt going into the back of the window runner and out through the black metal piece. And from there a washer and nut is attached to the bolt.

I had to use some ********* to hold the runner in place while getting the bolts in on the upper ones, lower ones weren't so bad. Unlike the coupe, the sedan wiring is in front of the black metal piece, not behind.

Thanks for the help wrathernaut.

Man hands are a required tool for every job.

Manuals occasionally help.

Most definitely. I think it helped that the windows were rolled partially down. And I think originally my problem was that I didn't do the motor reset.
