Lecy Window

[Guest docker]

just a quick one chaps ,

 

my n/s passenger window will go down o.k. but

 

when you go to close it , it goes 3/4 shut then goes fully open .

 

try the proceedure about 5 times then it will shut fully .

 

damn annoying thats all , seems to do it mainly from console switch

 

any ideas pls & thankyou

i would normally say, that it might be doing that as it "thinks" there is something (ie, a arm) stuck in the window, and so it winds down again, had the exact same fault with my corsa. but my X reg galaxy doesn't seem to do it, so i don't think a 96 would? i don't see how it could be shorting as it would blow the fuse wouldn't it?

 

anyone willing to comment?

Could be tight or dirty glass guides. People who've had this problem have soaked the glass guides in WD40 with some success.

Why wouldnt a Mk1 have such a thing as bounce back windows? what do you think the windows presently doing? suffering from vertigo, are painfully shy and trying to hide? :D

as chromedome suggests try lubeing the guides, also check the plug in the door for damp or corrosion of the pins? had the same thing on mine lubed the guides and the mech and it still did it, checked out the wiring and found a bitof damp in the plug :D dried it out and bobs your uncle problem solved :D till the next time it rained ;)

 

ps, silicon spray is better for the rubber guides than WD40!

[Guest docker]

thankyou fellas

 

have lubed the runners today as said with silicone & hey presto

 

well , did the fault 2 or 3 times but its put a ;) back on my face .

 

cheers all
