Last week when I was driving my Prowler I put down my drivers's side window. When I tried to put it up it came up canted or at an angle. I tried adjusting it and finally got it so that it comes up straight. However, it does not appear to go up as far as the passenger window. It is maybe (.10-.15) lower.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Does anyone know if there is a technical service bulletin on this?

Thanks for the help.

How does one adjust the window regulator?

I received my extended warranty card this past Friday and took the Prowler to the dealer this past Saturday. They said that the window regulator was covered and that all I would have to pay was the deductable which is $100.00. That was the great news. They also called me today and said that the window would have to be replaced as well. This is also covered and I do not have to pay anymore than the $100.00 that we previously spoke about. The car should be ready Tuesday.

Does anyone know why they have to replace the window? As I previously stated the window goes up at an angle. I have to pull on the back of it to make sure that the back goes all the way up. However the window seemed fine. Does the fact that the window comes up at an angle mean that a part of the window is broken?

Also, something interesting my extended warranty gives me a rental car. They are supposed to put me in a comparable Chrysler vehicle. However, what could be comparable to the Prowler? Answer, nothing. Anyway the rental car company only have Dodge Durango's (which no one was renting, probably because of the gas milage) and they had a four cylindar Sebring. I really wasn't enthusiastic about either of them. Although, I have driven both of those vehicles and they are fine vehicles but, I can drive those anytime. Anyway the agent could see my disappointment and he said come with me. We went in the back where he had an FX35 fully loaded! He said that he wasn't supposed to do this but he would rent me the FX35 for $15.00 per day in addition to what the extended warranty was already paying.
Of course, I said, that I am supposed to get a comparable vehicle and that the FX might qualify more than the Durango or Sebring. I also said that I should get the FX35 for no additional charge. The guy spoke to his manager and we negotiated a deal for $5.00 dollars more a day! So I only have to pay $5.00/day out of pocket for a fully loaded FX35.
Now, that vehicle is certainly impressive! It handles great and is loaded with luxury appointments that I would never have thought of. The vehicle is very, very well thought out.

Nevertheless,I will sum it up this way. During my drive over to the dealership on Saturday. I put the Prowler through it's paces (of course staying within the spead limit). Then after I finish putting the car through it paces and I am driving along normally, a guy in a motor cycle come along side and then gets and gives me a hugh smile and big thumbs up before the then exits the freeway! AAfter that it happened again. This time it was a couple on their motorcycle. I got two more hughs smiles and thumbs up! :thumbsup

Now I ask you, what else really, really gets that kind of response but a Prowler! The FX is a great vehicle, but it's no Prowler! The Prowler is just so much better and so unique! I didn't get any thumbs up or head turns as I drove home in the FX35.

Afterall it wasn't a Prowler!

You might ask the service writer to ask the parts department to SAVE that window regulator for you if/when DC tells them they don't need it returned. Those are rebuildable[to some degree],,,,if you don't want it,,,somebody here will take it off your hands.

If you get the old one back, and don't want it,,,,,I'll take it off your hands and will pay the freight.

Eureka! That would explain the child safety seat I found in the back!
