RE: {Chrysler 300} Quarter Window Washer and bushing Replacement

Hi Bob,

I had to pull the entire assembly to get at it. A true pain in the butt.

The item to note is that the window frame bottom on these quarter windows is die-cast aluminum and not steel. Therefore, it is very helpful to have a second person so one does not cock too hard on the things when trying to get it out. Way to easy to crack that thing.

I found that I had to remove the motor in place, pull the center brace, both upper stops and the front rail. Then lift the window up and inboard of the header to get to the spring clips. Then when separated pull the window up and out and then lower the mechanism down and pull it through the hole.

At least all this work allowed be to grease the gear box and moon teeth and oil and grease the pivots. I also pushed some surface rust converter down into the box section just to deal with any unseen surface rust down there while I had everything out.

All in all, it took the good part of a day to do one side.

The leather bushings were a little too wide for everything to fit. A whack with the hammer thinned then out so the “sandwich” would fit back on and the clip would go down.

Hey Mr D;

I have never done K quarter window leather washer or bushing work but

I imagine access is a major concern.

Bob and others…

Can one change the leather washers and the bushing on the rear quarter windows on a 300K without having to remove the glass and/or disturbed the runners-motor and upset the alignment ?

If it can be done, what is the best position to have the glass in to reach those clips? Up, Down, Midway?

Before I climb into the back seat, any suggestions or advise would be welcome.

Thanks, James
