Window Not Returning to Correct Closed Position

[smiff 0]

My passenger window sometimes (not everytime) doesn't make it to the top position?

 

When checking it out, (not sure how long it's been like this!) I placed my hands on the window, (When fully closed) I applied a little pressure and to my suprise it opened by about an inch! (Easily enough room to help a thief break in!!)

 

I've previously looked at the inside of my doors, and it seemed a bit tight for any kind of adjustment?

 

Any Ideas?

 

How much left and right play should the window have when half open? Mines about 1-2inches each way??? Left and right?

Common problem.

 

There's a perch for the window to sit on and that moves up and down on a vertical track. At the top and bottom of this track are plastic clips that act as a guide for the regulator cable. Well, since they're plastic, they break over time and then your window won't go up all the way, it'll leave like an inch or so gap.

 

I'm working on making a run of replacement METAL regulator parts that will last forever and fix the problem. I believe the dealer only sells the entire regulator assembly which is around US$500 :shock:

 

Keep your eye on http://www.corradomods.com/ I hope to have them for sale in the next couple of months

Ah! I've seen them. So have you replaced these in the past, (before your new design made of metal)? Is it easy or (as I imagine) a pain in the arse?

Haven't replaced it yet myself, the windows are one of the few things that have worked flawlessly since I bought the car :D

 

However when the metal units arrive, of course I'll have to replace my own in order to make up an installation instructions page
