Rear door glass replacement

[carterleeds]

thanks for that.

and ive got a full torx/star set from machine mart so ill be ok with tool the side of things lol. its the technical bit but the diagram looks straight forward enough and i got little brothers that has patitence so yeh im sorted lol.

and the seal is it just the top? or is the actual whole door seal from the outside glued on?

The seal is the one that goes up the side of the door that is glued, at the top Near screws 5 and 6, it is continuous over he top of the window frame so you will need to pull it out from the frame to release it, or at least that is what i did.

ok cool thanks much apreciated.

ill figure it out, when i get to it lol.

just a quick question regarding windows, when i wind the window up using the auto feature, it has a tendency to wind itself back down. its fine if i do it manually and slowly but the auto wind up just goes back down. you know when you put your hand in the way while its winding up, it will go back down straight away if it feels pressure.

do you know why this happens? could it be dirt?

btw the windows work fine up down nor problems. just sometimes the auto up decides to go back down on its own accord lol

it happens to the drivers front window all the time, passenger rarely, rear passenger all the time and rear drivers rarely.

I know what you mean, mine did that when I first replaced the glass - it is the regulator detecting increased torque required to move the glass and interprets this as a trapped hand.

It could be that the frame is not aligned, but there isn't much freedom of movement for this (unless it is twisted which is unikely), so I would look at the seals within the runners being slightly out of aligment - this was my problem.

Look carefully around the frame to see if any parts of the seal have popped out a little - it only take a small piece out of position to affect the operation of the windows.

Just a follow up thought - when you have the frame out, carefully run the window up and down to make sure it is free to move the full range of the window - this will help identify where it is binding if it does.

cool thanks for that.

will check them when i remove and refit them

Links no longer work?

Sadly no.
They look like dead links.

Shame.
