how to fix the floppy door windows
Hello All
I got tired of the wind draft getting in by the uneven and floppy door windows I decided to fix the problem.
Well, is not as easy as I thought. When I took the window apart and I noticed the bushing or spacer that keep the window on the track was crumbled in million pieces.
I went to the local store to see it I could find something that would work, but nothing, so i started making my own.
Well I tried but no luck,
Does anyone knows where i can find the them?
I was using a round material I had laying around, if I cant find the right one, I will try again with a sheet material and mill to spec.
Here are some picts in no particular order.......

Hello Bob
I dont think the RX-7 windows are the same since they have a frame, the RX-4's windows are frameless and the track inside the doors keeps the window square and straight, thats if the bushings are in good order.
I was hoping someone tell me, just got to the dealer and pick up a set!
I wasnt pleased with the round style bushing,so I made some new ones with a small piece I fount in the bottom of the door frame, so i copied it with the new material.
The material is called UHMW (Banzaitoyota mentioned on another site, and I got some material to make me some suspension bushing and engine mounts)
Here are some picts. I know this dont apply to many people but if you need the dimentions pm me,
Tomorrow after work am installing them...............
