graham1971 10 Posted December 8, 2014 Mrs has been driving the Corrado today and I'm in work, she just phoned to tell me she was putting the passenger window down and the glass has fallen into the door and won't come back up (but hasn't smashed :-)). Any bets as to what's happened and what parts I'm going to be looking for by the weekend? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gti_Jamo 10 Posted December 8, 2014 Hi, The windows are bonded into a metal insert which is connected to the regulator. If the bonding has perished then it can come free of the glass when it's lowered. The regulator moves down but the glass momentarily sticks in the window frame then subsequently falls into the door shortly afterwards. The weight of the glass can sometimes break the regulator mechanism but wont know until it's stripped down and inspected. If it's just came out its insert in can be re-bonded in place but if it's anything other than this you'll probably be looking at a replacement regulator. Hope this helps.

graham1971 10 Posted December 8, 2014 In fairness Gti Jamo is spot on, thats exactly what it looks like happenned. Main question that leaves me is does the original bonding look a bit like "no more nails"? Secondly, regulator is fine, as is the glass, what would be good to re-bond the window into place?

I only know this as it's what happened to mine although it burst my regulator at the two 10mm bolts that secure the glass mount to the slider. That good man above 'lilfuzzer' supplied me with a replacement. I've fitted it but yet to replace bonding. I plan to use some polyurethane windscreen bonding sealant.
