Driver's Door Glass Fallen Off Its Runner

[XRS]

My wife has just rung to say the window glass has come off its runner and is now jammed with the front end somewhere inside the door. She is 180 miles away and wondering what to do, so I sent her to her nearest Ford dealer in the hope of a quick fix.

Does anyone have experience of this, or know what might have heppened? The car is a 2004 TDi Elegance which lives outside, so the chances are that something has rusted.

I think the glass is bonded/glued to the glass carrier mechanism and has probably parted. Not sure if can be re-fixed or a new glass required. Others on this forum will probably know more.

One of the plastic carriers or its wire in the window regulator will have broken. Requires new window regulator although if your inclined, you can get new wire kits on ebay and save a few quid. Garages will charge about

Thanks for the input, I'll see what I can do when the car comes back. Whatever it is seems to have pushed the door card off the door at the bottom.

if you are close to me i have a regulator sitting in my garage,drivers side.

i had this happen to me and i sourced a mk1 regulator with motor.

took all the parts out and rebuilt onto the mk2 frame work.

you just need 3 hands to wire up the 2 way plastic spool within the motor.

Thanks for the offer, but the car is now with my local garage and due to be fixed today.
