neil mc Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 hi all, my drivers side(gets most use as i'm a smoker)window is playing up. when i power it to close it stops at a very slight angle-falling away from rear of car. the gap at the top is no more than a couple of mm but very annoying. a while back the window arm needed tightening as i was gettin a clunk sound when i pressed power switch, when i removed the trim i saw two bolts on the pan of the inside the door, i re fitted them and tightened all other bolts and all seemed fine until recently - any suggestions?????

gbhrps Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 neil mc, You've touched upon your own solution. Finding the 2 loose bolts and reinstalling them back into the window mechanism, suggests that the mechanism had shifted inside the door. They are designed to allow for changes in angles and height of the glass to the glass seals on the body. It is a hit and miss/try loosening of the bolts/shift things in one direction a bit/tighten the bolts/close the door/try the power window/check for proper fit in the up and down glass positions. You can try to do the job yourself and may get lucky very quickly, or take the car to a glass installer and have them adjust it. Their experience will have the job done in short order. Good luck!

There are "up-stop" brackets bolted to the upper area of the door "shell" --one near the front edge of the door shell; one near the rear. Sounds like the rear upstop bracket is adjusted too low, causing the glass to stop before it reaches the top of it's travel within the window opening.
