Ha! Is that why mine are crooked? I thought it was from picking my nose?

When I did them in my 72 Bus, I had to pay special attention to the cable cleaning, i thought mine were not going up all the way as well. Turned out to be a combination of 30 year old grease in the channel and paying careful attention to exactly where the motor is installed in relation to the register travel, I.E. you may have it hooked up with the register too far extended or retracted.

Register travel? Mine just go up or down until you stop pressing the button. Sounds like it's binding somewhere
