I replaced the ones in our 93 and I had a problem with the right side door. Roll your window all the way down and check for tight spots in the channel by running your finer over the weather striping. If there's a tight spot kinda spread the channel out a little bit. Also be sure to check that the rubber is in the track all the way down in the door. To see if the motor is bad take the rubber completely back out and run the window up. Dont let it hit the door (I think there is a stop on it but be careful anyway). You can also time the two windows to make sure they roll up together (best way to check a motor). That should fix the problem but if it doesnt try a new rubber but try reinstalling it first. Good luck.

yea I think thats the problem. These new kits must come a little thicker than the OEM. It is a little tight in certain places. Ill take a crow bar to it.

Thanks guys!
