Window drop fix for door opening
 
I'm re-installing the interior parts and have the door apart for the classic "Window wont drop due to stretched cables" repair opportunity. I know I need to insert a bicycle cable adjuster in front of one pulley, the question is, "Which pulley?".

on the lower front pulley, between it and the motor

Its the pulley directly infront of you once you take the door panel off and pull off the plastic liner. Its the only white pulley you will see within the large hole at the bottom of the door.

I don't think it makes any difference where you put it in the system. I put it on the front lower pulley behind the speaker where it was easiest to access. I also added some wireties to create additional tension at the spring adjuster coming out of the bottom of the motor.

if you put the additional spacer anywhere other than between the motor and immediate pulleys on either end you will disrupt the front to back tilt/level of the window and will require additional alignment.
