window not winding properly?

[Ben F]

my driver's window on my s2 will only go down an inch or less (feels as thought the problem is to the front) and when trying to wind down there is a dead stop.

recently I've experienced the window going up except for the last inch which seemed to cure itself but now it's stuck in the up position.

I've taken the door card off and nothing appears or feels loose.

help!

Hi Ben

The window mechanism is simplicity itself, most common fault with your simptom is the glass jumping its track, normally this is due to one of the track fixing points comming lose (did it rattle more than normal before it failed?)

Alternativley part of the scissor mechanism has come lose, it does not take a lot to make it stick.

Re nothing apperaing to be lose now, I would guess that its now jammed so it will not rattle or appear lose?

If you let me have your e-mail add I can send you the relivant pages, so you can see how to pull it to bits and adjust it.

I had a problem with mine before I sold it.
Try a torch,into the interior of the door from the black rubber window sealing area.
Check front and rear, there is a philips screw, make sure both are tight.
Cured my problem straight away.

many thanks for your replies.

investigated more and fault was the front runner screw loose, jamming up the window. All is ok now..... until the next problem!!

Hi Again

Good stuff glad to help - did you put some thread lock on (or it takes about 6 weeks to come out again).
