Eee Gods, Podie, lubricants, rubber and baby's bottoms all in the same thread . I don't know how we get away with it.
Right, well job done. Took 3 hours (including coffee breaks).
Took off the speaker... uncliped the wires... and hey presto, we're in! Behind the trim is a rubber panel with tape all over it... moved this, found the nut (7mm in mine), which came out OK. Removed the screw at the other end... pulled out the "poppers" (bit like raw plugs for your wall!) and uncliped the door opening mechanism.
Turned out that the connector for the electric window motor had come completely out. Could have replaced it without taking the trim off, but there you go.
SO.. liberal coating of WD40 inside the lock mechanism (from the inside), wiped down all the rubber and the channels that the window goes in, with silicon lube (
"lube" ), bit of WD40 on the connector and some more down the channel that the window moves through, plug together and hey presto... job done. Putting the trim back together was a PITA though.. needs patience!
PODIE'S HANDY HINT: Before you put the speaker back, check the window goes ALL the way down... some of the wires were not relocated properly, so may have got caught or prevented the window from going all the way down.
Right... now to tape up my bleeding hands and get all the bits of GRP out of them!
right, that's it! You're barred sunshine! Gassing Station | S Series | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
