Get them changed if its the plastic ones, there is nothing worse than having to keep your window in place with tape.
i can testify to that   :tongue:



Ouch, did that not leave a mark on the paint?

When mine went, I just taped onto the seals, didn't want to risk marking the paintwork. And that was a B***H to get off!

At least changing them before they break reduces the chance of a smashed window from dropping, yes it doesn't always happen but sods law and all that, i am going to check and if needed change my drivers one if nesscessary after my passenger one dropped.

I did the same mate, my passenger side went so I replaced the drivers shortly afterwards. Glad I did as it wasn't healthy
