I've got a '39 Fordor that is all original. The driver's side door window popped off and dropped down a bit. I took the inside door panel off and I could not see anything missing or broken or worn out. Just one crank wheel popped out of its rail. So I put the crank wheels back partially inside of the window rails like they were, but I couldn't get the window to operate properly again. I have tried to insert the crank wheels inside of the window rails with the crank fastened to the door. And I have taken the crank off of the door, dropped the window to the point where I get the crank wheels inserted into the rails and then refasten the crank to the door, but the window is still off kilter and will not operate properly. What am I missing here? What is the trick to get this back in place and working properly again? Thanks for your replies!

I finally took the passenger side door panel off and had a good look at how a correctly set-up window winder works. That was step one. Step two was to get an extra pair of hands involved from my wife. Finally got the danged roller to go into its slide rail with FOUR hands horsing around. Once the doors were all together on these cars, I guess they really didn't take into consideration that someone might have to actually replace a window or something. Thanks for looking.

I am glad that you were able to fix it. The 39 and older cars are different than the 40 and up cars, so I was unable to help you. Tom
