window sticking!
« on: 07 February 2011, 18:10 »
Guys have a problem with my passenger window. It goes down ok but when goin up very slow and then it stops just over half way up. To close it fully id have to hold button in while somebody helps it up.
Any ideas what the problem would be?

Cheers dave :smiley:

Any way of testing either? What would it cost to fix?

repair kit for the windows is £40 for the one with the runners and clips ect. or £70 for the one with the regulator i belive. so i think youle need the £70 one.


not sure how to test like...
