    The slot in the regulator catches the pin on the bottom of the window glass, works like this, when the window is full up, the first half turn of the crank pulls the glass backward toward the rear of the car one inch, which gives you a draft. After that, the window slides straight down the tracks into the door. Roll it up, the opposite happens, the glass climbs inside the tracks till the top of the glass fits in the top fuzzy, leaving an inch open at the front. The last half turn of the crank moves the glass forward and closes up that inch. You'll have to bend the regulator the right amount to catch the pin, it'll fuck you up till by magic it'll work all of a sudden.

    never done a 35, but in 34 the pin threads into a hole in the channel. you get the track installed on the two rollers, then the pin goes in. its what pulls the window back from the vent position, and keeps the roller from running off the track. 10/32 screw with a bushing around it
