Window Problem
The driver's side window, after hitting a bump, seems to "slap" near my shoulder when the window's rolled up, but rolled down, the door and window seem solid. Anyone with experience or suggestions?

i have the same problem on my 86 TA. when fully closed, the window makes a sort of "cracking" or "slapping" noise when going over a bump. When its down, nothign is heard. I believe this has to do wtih teh door sagging...there is a pin that is responsible for keeping the door up and properly aligned...this may be worn out, and if it is, you need to replace it. I have to on mine, and have not started yet. There should be a tech article on this board on how to do it. Good luck.
