Folks, I have a 1940 Deluxe coupe. The drivers side window has suddenly decided that it won’t roll down past the 1/2 way point. Previously worked fine.

Any tips or trick of what to look for before I pull it apart. Thanks.

You may have a couple of stripped teeth in the window regulator.

You'll need to pull the door panel do see the problem. There are several possibilities, but pulling the door panel will tell you what went wrong.
