Title: Window fell down the door!
Post by: stu646 on 15 April 2013, 18:59

Went to put the passenger window down and it just fell all the way through to the bottom!

Can still hear the motor working fine but it just does not raise the window at all. Is there a walk through guide anywhere at how to fix this? As have no money to put it in a garage again.

Got a interview coming up soon so need to use my car soon, got a bag covering the window tonight, but rather not have it like that for long

It'll be broken window regulator clips, did it sound like the glass smashed?

I'd take the door card off and remove the reg panel to get the glass out if it's still in one piece then bag the window up tonight.

You'll need new regulator clips, make sure they are metal ones though otherwise the same thing will happen again. There is a guide somewhere, I'll dig it out in a min.

Window still looks good from what I can see.

Just bagged the window up for the night as I will have more room to fix it tomorrow as live in a apartment block so got cars either side of me at the moment.

Thanks a lot for the guides mate. Looks a lot of work!! Easy enough to do or quite hard?

It's straightforward enough, they're just very comprehensive guides :afro:
