  • Straighten Drivers Door Front Window Channel

    My 120 Grande drivers door was blown open hard by high winds. As a result, the window would not go up and down properly.

    The door restrainer was fouling and had bent and twisted front glass guide channel.

    How to fix - Blocks of wood method.

    Remove the auto window switch block by prising up from the arm rest with a flat screw driver. Remove the inside triangle plastic piece behind the door mirror. Pick out the black plastic piece behind the silver door handle. Locate and undo the screws you will find hidden.

    Pop off bottom and sides of door card, lower window, lift up door card to release it at top edge, unclip door light, speaker, window switches.

    Remove black door restrainer arm, 2 nuts and one bolt and inspect and bend restrainer straight in vice if bent in horizontal plane. Lower glass and look down inside door and inspect bent and twisted door channel.

    Also you may find that front edge of door frame is probably bent forwards.

    Force it back into position by a small jam block of wood in the door opening. Jam the door closed carefully to bend the bent door into shape again with the wood block in the door gap front edge

    Window UP. Press on the rectangular hole for the door restrainer, also press again on the forward rounded edge of the door, both sections will be bent outwards most likely, and the rectangular opening with the two bolt holes should look flat when back in shape.

    Cut another offset piece of offset hardwood that will fit in the door opening gap and fit it out through the rectangular opening of the door restrainer.

    To straighten the twisted window channel, use the offset piece of wood to get across to the bent window channel while the other end of the wood goes in the corner of the door opening. Press carefully by closing the door with the window UP.

    Look down inside with window down, and when channel is straight enough that the window goes up and down satisfactorily, leave it alone, and reassemble.

    As far as I know, that is how they do it at Toyota Service, with small blocks of wood in the door opening.
