Rear window won't close
Though I have managed to get it up now, there's something very wrong.
Driving along hear a "funny noise" from the nearside behind me, thought it might be the nearside rear window a bit open so I tried to close it. Nothing happened, so I tried opening it a bit.
Upshot was, it kept opening more and more but wouldn't close, combined with some disturbing noises.
Eventually found a safe place to park and managed to force it up using hands on the glass and operating the switch. Kept hearing graunching noises as if something (glass maybe ) was caught in the mechanism.
Only got it up in tiny steps, the auto-reverse mechanism kept kicking in. Where are the sensors for that, it might give me a clue?
Any thoughts anyone, I guess the door will need to be stripped to investigate but how difficult is that?
I need to use the car again today so won't be investigating until later in the week. Might scupper plans to go to Audis In The Park on Sunday.
