DB9 Volante Tiny window does not go all the way up

[dkatwa]

hi.. The little window behind the passenger side window, does not go all the way up when closing the roof. It is stuck half way. I have searched on Google without luck. Any ideas?
thanks

Try and 'help' it manually while you are putting the roof up, you'll probably need an assistant!

It's slightly out of alignment - but a bit of silicone lubricant on the vertical rubber seal between the back and front windows will help.

Thanks Yeti - will give it a go. When I first tried to help it go up, the window seemed to be stuck. I didn't want to apply excessive pressure in case something broke.

I recall famous George had the same problem a while back, with his DB9 Volante. He was in quite a flap at the time, because it was raining.

Amusingly, we learnt in the subsequent exchanges, that George does have stables but, "I don't have a horse".

The car could not be put in the stables to keep it dry, because it is full of motorbike fairings. To which a wag said, "Do you plan to fall off a lot George"

His car was taken away on a lorry.

Pretty much what happened except the car definitely can't fit in the stables. Or the garage. The doors are all too narrow

I think it was the motor which had gone due to water getting into it btw so it was replaced under warranty.
