Title: Replaced window regulators, now windows have a problem.....
Post by: GunnerCP on 28 June 2010, 15:39

Hi guys,
Well, replaced the regulator on the front passenger side, all went well, only had one screw left over so i'm pleased with that! lol...

One problem though,

If you're putting the window up it'll get to the top and come back down half way, like the safety sensor things.... There's nothing in the seals that it's hitting and the window goes up smoothly and evenly after playing around, if you put the window up bit by bit when you get near the top it's fine.

Any ideas?

Think i'll leave the drivers side for another day......

Thanks in advance.

Try moving the glass ever so slightly or wind the window right down and then back up - that sometimes helps reseats itself in the correct position

Like rhyso make sure glass is correct, had I similar problem turned out the edge of the glass was not fully in the regulator even tho I thought it was  :grin:

ok, cheers guys i'll give that a go. Sadly one of the torx bolts that hold the glass to one of the bolts have rounded off.... i'll see what I can do though.

thanks for the replies.

just to close the thread, I put the window down a little and gave it a gentle push down and I guess it must have sat further into the two window clips as now it operates as normal.

Thanks
