Rear door glass replacement
Well, during a recent trip to holland, someone had a go at stealing the box of rubbish that i had left on the back seat....the anti theft glass did such a good job that i didnt even notice till late in the day.
The fact that the would-be thief had to have two goes before giving up took the sting out of the incident, but has left me with some work to do. I *thought* that i had privacy glass, so managed to track a replacement tinted window from a 2008 model from fleabay (a8parts didnt have one) and fitted it today....now the problem..... Having fitted it, it doesnt close properly- it binds closing so needs some help to close, and even then leaves a 10mm gap at the top. Have i installed it wrong, or have i got the wrong part?

Why did you not just get a car glass company to change it for a brand new one. You'll get a nice new Audi one, for the cost of your glass excess and they'll fit it as well.

That was not too helpful an answer....
Did you possibly bend one of the guides, is there some debris in the channels? The glass is very unlikely to be wrong size/shape so I'd be looking for something simple. Try some lubrication and work it up and down a few times and see if it frees up! Stew,

Loose trim
Took it all out and refitted it today and all is good. It turned out to be a bit of trim in the channel had popped out. Thanks for you excellent advice.
