Problems with driver's electric window.

[XTC]

Looks like 04OFF was right on the money with his suggestion about the problem being caused by the bolts which hold the winding mechanism to the inner door skin.

One bolt had fallen out and the other 3 were loose. You can see in the pic where the remaining bolts had been sliding up and down on the inner skin of the door, which was obviously causing the window to skip on the way down.

I also found where the guides on the bottom of the glass had been hitting the inner door skin also, so bent the skin away from this area to avoid any more contact.

Removing the door trim was a relatively easy job after I had a look at the "INTERIOR TRIM" section of an electronic workshop manual for the vehicle.

Hope the pics below of some of this job help someone else out.

Cheers Mate for the update & pics that went with.

Im glad it was a nice cheap fix for ya. So hows it all working now? Are you happier with it?

Patch, I gave it a good test and the window action seems to be back to original now.

I'm very happy with the fix, and can't believe I have put up with this for so long, knowing now how easy it was to fix.

Thanks also for your suggestions. It's great to have people offer up suggestions as it gives you somewhere to start looking.
