Yep, that's it just last Saturday out in the car all fine my wife shuts the passenger door (its right hand drive) and all the glass from the window,that was wound,up lands in her lap.
Well clearly the cost is coming out of her pocket money but what to do now?
In fairness the glass did seem a little loose in the frame and had slightly come away from the top channel,near the small side window. So perhaps it wasn't all her fault!! I had sort of ignored it thinking it would get better by itself but of course it didn't.
So I have this morning removed the door card and the chrome trim strip from the outside (something which I had done a few months ago for some paint work to be done and may have been the precursor to this of course).
I can see the window channel and the mechanism. My question is can I just drop a new glass in (I am thinking not) or do I have to take everything out and if so how?
Also what parts am I likely to require just the glass and the nylon guides or should I replace other parts at the same time?
Finally one slight concern is that when I attempt to wind the window up now (with no glass in it) the front slider seems stuck and only the rear moves so that the glass channel starts to go up at an angle. I suppose that could be because there is no glass to press against at the front but it doesn't seem right.
