I had to whittle them down a bit with a utility knife, cost about $1.50 for all six. I replaced mine with 3 rubber stoppers that I bought at the local hardware store. I broke a couple of coffee cups and sent several other items off the edge of my bench.Īlmost forgot, when you open the motors look for the 3 rubber balls that sit between the motor and window gear. Make sure you clear off your bench when operating the motor and regulator. If someone know's a better way I'd be happy to hear it. Also, you'll need 12 volts to run the motors to seperate them from the regulator. Do your best to not make this a 2 week project or, like me, you'll forget how to put things back together. I believe, but am not certain, that one of my springs was put in backwards causing a slow window. They are intended to assist the motor in upward travel and will be under tension with the window in the down position. Take note of the position of the motor and regulator as you seperate them and also the position of the large assist spring. The manuals only provide general info for this kind of stuff. I can't stress enough how helpful a smart phone or digi camera will be with this procedure, also take notes or use a sharpie to mark position of things. Once you have the motor/regulator assembly out take pics as you are dismantling them. Once removed the reg and motor will come out of the largest hole. Then there's 3 bolts holding the motor/regulator. I can't remember for certain but I think you'll need to apply 12 volts to compress the regulator for removal. It's hard to explain but there's a large metal clip that needs to be spread out as you pull the rollers off, it's rather easy if you're doing it right. IIRC, first remove rollers that attach the window to the reg's. Us a piece of wood to hold the windows up, they will not stay up with the reg's removed and are heavy. If you can send pics of what you have I can probably help get things working correctly.The motor and window regulator come out as a unit. All of these connections could be loose causing your intermitent operation. ![]() The wire could also be attached to the fuse panel. If so you now know where to start your search. Disconnect the battery first and see if you have an additional wire attached to the rear window cut off switch. To check the wiring remove the switch gang from the center console. I have never ordered the aftermarket replacements. They are available NOS ( New Old Stock) but are getting harder to find. ![]() I did take apart a parts car with the same problem but this one appeared to have a bunch of melted wiores.Īs for the relay. Based onall the various fixes I have seen most mechanics/owners did not know the relay existed.Īs your underhood wiring harness was spliced, one would need to trace each wire to make sure the splice was to the same colored wire. One of the easy fixes is to bypass the relay and wire the windows directly at the relay easy to do but hard to get at the relay. Not an elegant fix but the windows would work. They or their mechanic would find a hot wire under the dash and run it to the switches. Many of the 64 birds had the relay bypassed by previous owners. Give the center cowl just behind the air cleaner a peek. I have read on here from other 64 owners they have found their Stoplamp relay next to the washer pump, other have stated they have found theirs next to the voltage regulator, where the horn relay should be. But since our 64 is early production (8/63) it didn't get factory seat belts or a seat belt light. ![]() My stop lamp relay is located inder the left side of the dash, where the Seat Belt Light Relay would normally be located. Below that closer to the bulkhead connector would be the Neutral Safety Relay for Convertibles.Ī note, the Neutral Safety Relay and Stoplamp (Turn signal) Relay are the same part #. Directly under the boot would be the Window Safety Relay. I meant in the engine compartment, under the right cowl drain boot. I have the same problem with my 64 hardtop but the turn signal relay is the only one in the position given for the window relay.
