Garage / Re: Reassembling the TCS doors
« Last post by GavinT on Today at 06:37:46 AM »Next question: I cut the stop washers that keep the windows from going down very far. But now the windows are in danger of breaking through the bottom of the door. Has anyone bent the curved window tracks to give more clearance? And if so, how? I'm thinking of cutting a tighter curve through a 2x4, then clamping it to each of the lower legs of the track to increase their curvature slightly. It doesn't need much.
Not clear on what you mean.
You can't really bend the window tracks because they are set to the curvature of the window glass itself.
What you can do is remove a little from the bottom of the track if it looks to be interfering with the inner door surface.

I have this stolen pic from my hoard.
I don't know if the dimensions are valid but it might be possible to check against yours.
It's for an S2 and I also don't know all the differences compared to a TCS seat - probably the recline angle and the seat cushion 'webbing' on the later cars?

« Last post by Clifton on Today at 04:45:16 AM »Not worth the risk of having the window go down farther. I would tack the gear/arm to stop it from moving too far.There is a thermal protection switch in the window motors. I was parked outside all day near Az summer and one window would not go up on a 45 minute drive. I think I put more tension in the spring to disable it. They are both sitting on my shelf.
