[Mk2] [Turbo] Drivers side window won't go up properly

Post by TheCombover »

For some reason today my driver's side window decided to not go up properly, it goes up about half way and then the front jams while the back goes up fully. I had to manually pull the window up.

What could cause this?

Thanks

i'm afraid you are going to have to get the door card off and have a looksee.
It could be a problem with the window in the runner or the runner has come adrift at the top or bottom. Have a look to see if any nuts or bolts are loose or knocking around in the bottom of the door.

Visibility of the runner is not good so you may need a small mirror to see whats going on.
