The problem is that Corrado windows have a glued plastic part which drives the window through a metallic rail.

 

They usually brake with time, you will get that annoying rattle, window playing which will not allow to close it properly to the top...

 

Once i went to VW to get those plastic parts. They told me they were not supplyed individually, only the complete window!!! :shock:

 

Bunch of muppets!

ok guys, i think I know the issues your having...

 

1) take the door card off and peel back the plastic stuff over the door.

 

2) lower the window 2/3 down

 

You should see a metal bar in the spaces between the door. Toward the left hand side you should see a metal "prong" with a rounded head (sorry can't describe this better).

 

Check in the inside of the door for a white circular clip. The centre should be hollow. This should fit over the "prong". Slide the white clip along the metal bar and press the prong inside firmly. This should solve any rattling issues.

 

However, it is quite liable to coming un done, so I assume that there is something missing to secure it. So far the best solution i have found is not always raise the window before closing the door to reduce the stress involved.

 

HTH

PS - would have pictures but I finally put my interior back togehter last night after 3 weeks of no door card and stereo!
