Window woes

Post by Edward.21 »

H all I'm having trouble with the Driverside window winder ( it is very very stiff to use) I have taken of the door card and can't see anything jamming or scrapping the only thing I can think of is the runner that pushes it up from the bottom is slightly twisted but I can't see it jamming and someone has fitted new seals which look ok but could be rubbing any help greatly appreciated :D

Be liberal with the WD40 and see if that helps

I had a similar problem and it turned out to be the felt runner inserts in the frame, they looked ok but one side pinched the window slightly and it then tilted diagonally a fraction and the corner of the glass began to dig in even more making it virtually impossible to move.......

Did you take the felt out or did you replace it?

if you dont replace the felt the windows will shake, vibrate and bash off the metal runners eitehrside, which take it from me is very very annoying.
