96 K1500 Broken Window Hardware???

[Juggerado]

I have a 96 Silverado 1500. Power window went down like it should. Started to roll it up and it seems like only the back section of the drivers side window wanted to come up. If I pull it up it will come. It’s like something isn’t pushing it up from the A-pillar side of the window. Removed the panel, and was able to see inside to the track and couldn’t see anything wrong. Any ideas?

More than likely the regulator pivots are loose and the window is binding.

Thanks. I’ll finish taking it apart shortly. I’ll check that first and let you know what I find.

If the window glass has been replaced at any point and someone left the bolts out of the front window channel (easy to forget apparently; I've repaired a couple like this) it can cause binding at the front and damage the regulator - one of 'em was all pretzeled-up.

The ends of this track were flared out. I guess it’s just something that happens over time. Pair that with lots of rough gravel road travel, the rolled simply popped out of the track. Thanks for the suggestions on where to start looking.

And now the door handle won’t open the door from the inside. Fixing one problem means creating a new one. I’m sure the linkage just came apart.

The rods on the inside door handles can pop loose from the levers they go into. Fortunately if the handle is broken, replacements are inexpensive and it's not a difficult job to do.

Linkage popped loose from the inner door handle. Linkage came back together easy enough.
