Help on fitting driver’s side window - Vantage V8

[DaveV8V]

Hi all,

As the title suggest, I need some help in re-fitting my window on my 2007 V8 Vantage. Yesterday I wound the widow down and it seemed to pivot at the front part of the window going down and the rear slanting up at about 30-45 degrees. I started to wind it back up and the entire glass pane dropped so I grab it before it slid into the door and broke on any of the internals. The glass seems to be intact (see pic)

I know I will have to take the door card off and I assume I have to do something with the latch, and when I’ve done that what do I do with the window. Therefore I would be grateful if you guys could give pointers on what I need to do and any potential pitfalls

Many thanks
Dave

Can't offer much advise, but would warn about this :

There was a thread a few months back about problems with the door modules / doors not always locking, and a discussion about changing them. As part of that, it was mentioned that the glass needed to be removed - and Mike (Bamford) made this comment:

"Extreme care is needed refitting the glass, slightly over tighten the fixings or position the glas ever so slightly out of position and the glass will shatter at an unpredictable time in the future"
