The 84 SD is back on the road..
Leaking oil (which I'll have to investigate), but running well.
No A/C, so the windows get cranked.. The passenger front hasn't worked the entire time I've owned it, and the driver's rear needs some attention..
Yesterday I went to put it up.. It got 3/4 up, went sideways and before I realized it made a lovely kabump sound..
I got the door skin off-- and can see the motor has detached from the bottom of the door.

There appears to be a plastic "washer" that I assume was a "safety mechanism" to keep it from eating a kids fingers..
While I'd like to re-install that, I can't get the bolt and the bolt hole to re-align.. I'm wondering if the gear "jumped a tooth or two" because the window doesn't make it to the top, either.
Any ideas?? I've got it closed within about 1/4 to 1/2".
I assume lubrication was lacking, and it jammed and got sideways?
I'm probably going to skin the passenger door, and see what it looked like before it was broken, and maybe get that one functional.
