thx. even with the corrected part i cannot figure out how to unscrew the 2nd nut so i can free the window and pull it up manually.

my post didnt seem to generate any responses regarding this 2nd bolt/nut so i am afraid i will have to take it to my indy shop. they wanted ~$400 with parts which sucks because i am one freaking nut away from getting this job done. hopefully since i have done half the work they will discount it from $400.

thanks for your help NRA0707
