Front nearside window not shutting.

[cockneychris]

The window on the nearside front thinks it has a baby's arm stuck in it as it detects a problem and runs halfway down again. You can only get it to close if you flick the toggle and inch it up. I have tried resetting it ie run it down to the bottom and then hold the toggle on for a short while and again at the top and hold the toggle up. This hasnt worked so apart from a sticky runner what do you think it could be.

has it made any strange noises?
if so it may of over spooled slightly?
if not then give the runners a spray with ptfe.

[cockneychris]

No noises Greg and I have tried the resetting trick but no luck there. Good idea with the ptfe spray but does it bleed out onto the window at all?

[gregers]

shouldnt do,id use that rather then wd40.
if this doesnt sort it,then id be looking at a possible over spool in the motor.

[cockneychris]

If it is an overspool of the motor the. How do I fix that one?

[gregers]

im sure there is info within the referance libaray about gaining entry to the window regulator and motor,
if AND its a big if,that it is the rugulator/motor that has overspool you will have to remove the door card,and remove the regulator itself.
