Adjusting S3 Window Frame

[edsj]

Dear PH's

My near side window (S3 Y1991) moved slowly and finally got stuck. I replaced the rubbers in the channels and doing that I removed the motor which seems to be working fine, as well as switch and connector and door mechanism. I also removed the front channel, mechanism and window for this job and wish I didn't

Now with all put back, when trying to move the window manually with only the motor removed, I found that the window still moves too heavy in its new rubbers, and it seems that it runs against the second leg of the A frame where it bolts to the door. I do not see how I can solve this as the inner door thingy to which it is bolted seems to pushes it against the window. I would rather bolt it to the outside of the cavity, but then the door panel will not fit I presume.

Any of you guys have experience with this adjustment? After fettling a whole afternoon, could not make it work. Thank you in advance!!

Yes that's the bit Phillpot. Door card has the recess (not fitted here)

Picture shows the bit outside the cavity (window not fitted here), it feels like this is the "natural" tensionless position, but it should be inside the cavity. In this position the door card would no longer fit.

That might just do the trick. Chop chop! Thanks!!

Thanks rzrz,

I do not understand the bits you are referring to but we can always try in Dutch
