Just to know: Coupe and 4dr window mechanisims are just a bit different..
Just to know: Coupe and 4dr window mechanisims *are* just a bit different.
Not *much* different, but different enough to cause problems. They have a slightly different 'front to back angle' to them, and are also 'curved' a bit differently.
I know, becasue I *didn't* know there was a difference. Until I figured out why things didn't work... :-(

You are right about the "slight" differences in the mechanisms...
However with a little creative modifications they can be made to work 4K to CGT and vice versa. BTDT.
I found that the difference in the curvature between them allows the window to go down, but leave may 1/8" of glass above the window frame at the bottom when it's down ( it's a bit annoying with your elbow out the window, but livable).
The front to back angle can be completely overcome by enlarging the mounting holes with a Dremel tool to allow for proper adjustments.

i dont think a switch is going to cure that.
He could be hoping?
Having redone stringing the wire (and looks like I'm doing it *again*!), I'd hope beyond hope that it's the switch too...
