Window popping out

[Mark51]

recently my front drivers side window keeps popping out. there is a plastic clip that sits inside the window seal that guides the window when going up and down. this keeps popping off.

i have replaced the plastic guider the first time it happened and it worked fine for about a month but now it is doing it again and its uber annoying tbh. the seal is in mint condition aswell.

any ideas what it could be?

sound like something may be bent, may the window reg?? is the door frame ok?? or it could be a poorly adjusted window in the reg

[Mark51]

the door frame is how it has always been, never had any knocks or strains.

whats the "window reg"????

[123-samsung123]

window req, sorry mate is the controls the motor, cables etc in side the door, maybe one of the cable is strenged more than the other??? it hard to say!

[Mark51]

this does make sense in a way but i cant see it happening tbh as the cable are wire

[123-samsung123]

yeah take your door card off and look at the operation of the window! and sees what you can see!

[Mark51]

will be doing this tomorrow when i finish work, cheers

anyone else?

[jamiemol]

just wondering where you got the clip from as i have the same problem

mines doing it aswell mark

im gonna have another look at mine today, at the front were the speaker is i screwed a screw into there that holds the front window guide thing in place, i dont think its meant to be screwed as it seems to pull the window out of the guide, try taking your doorcard off and see if its come out of the guide at the front :y:

clip is available from the dealers

thnaks for that pred

ive only had a new clip in for about a month. will have a look today if i can be arsed when i have finished work. it had come out of the front guide rail last time but i popped it back in and screwed to back together.

cant understand why it just does it randomly

[Predator_R32]

yeah mines never been the same once i took it out for some reason, definately think there wasnt a screw on the front guide though, either that or i wasnt screwed in all the way to allow for movement

[Mark51]

hmmmm, when i screwed it back in it seemed pretty tight on the last few turns. but why the fluff would they do that?

[Predator_R32]

they alwcome over with problems in car factorys and little things like this fix it

Just a quick one as it could be something else. After you have fitted the little grey clip to the window make sure you push it into the window runner correctly, it normally clicks when its fully home.

Had this exact same problem and this was the solution.

[Mark51]

^^ yes mate this is the clip im on about that i have replaced.

i replaced all the windows in the car when i got pulled for my tints about 2 years ago and have never had a problem until now

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

I've had this same problem, you dont think its anything to do with the seal that holds the window in being too tight? as it seems to get stiffer the further the window gets up. And it seems to go up smoother when the glass is a bit wet.

[Predator_R32]

im gonna look at mine in the morning, taking the screw out and see if it makes it any better, now and again it pops out

[Mark51]

partly fixed it yesterday but ripped my window seal which i think was the problem. going to "borrow" another window seal tomorrow as they are like £35 from shitroen.

this time im going to stick some vaseline inside the seal where the window slides up and down

[Mark51]

didnt have time to go to ricky's today so just put some insulation tape over the part of the rubber that was split and its working fine now
