Excellent video! Can't wait for part two....almost every part of my 1985 tailgate window components has been replaced with the exception of the side channels and the slides where the window attaches.....new motorcraft motor, new regulator, new felts, new glass, etc. It still doesn't want to go up and down, as it binds in the middle of its travel. Once it gets past the mid point, up or down, it moves better, but it requires assistance. When the tailgate is up, you can see that when it goes up, it isn't following the path of the channel in the hard top, it is tilted further forward, toward the inside of the vehicle. I have to get in the back of the Bronco and apply outward pressure for the window to close. I am also wondering if the motor could be wired through a relay so that it gets full voltage? Anyhow, great video! Can't wait for more.....

I love the channel. I have a 1996 Bronco with a tailgate that has metal separating at the top right corner. The body shop i took it to (Maaco) is not comfortable welding it and repainting; they say they don’t have the equipment to do it. This was a California Bronco for most of its life, so everything else on the tailgate is fine - I’ve replaced all the internals using your guidance and parts supplier referrals. I found a replacement tailgate that will cost $800, which is more than I believe the weld should cost. As well, the final look of a welded repair is probably fine relative to the value the new door brings. How do I you suggest I could guide the body shop on how to weld it properly? Or is there a better way to get this done, such as metal shop or something?

Thanks for the inquiry. I’ve yet to see a completely burned up motor. That said, the glass tracks can still be unbolted from the outside of the tailgate. And the glass will have some wiggle room due to the ability to bend the regulator arms a bit. Remove the two top seals, remove glass from regulator and then use a step drill to drill thru regulator plate to access removal bolts. Then email me for a used regulator. Where there is will, there is a way. Or break glass and replace for $100
