window PAIN
« on: 17 December 2010, 15:46 »
So the missus this morning tried to open the window, which was frozen in place.

You know the drill, window stuck, window guide down, then doesnt match up properly, window un-freezes, comes crashing down, sh!t..

Right, door panel off, all the 10mm bolts out that hold skin on, about to remove then......rivets..

Take it theres no way of sorting this without taking that inner door skin off? Metal one with speaker bolted into?

Bit reluctant to drill myself as ill probably go through rivet, panel and glass  :grin:

you don't need to drill it out mate. Is the window still off the clamps?

I'm up my mums later which is just round the corner from you so bring it round and I'll direct you  :smiley:
