The front passenger window makes a noise, it starts to get really irritaing at 60+

Im told that the window has been broken and the replacement needs to be adjusted. The repair people dont get many pillarless cars.

Is this an easy job to fix?

Is it easy to take the interior apart with a screw driver?

Is this noise like a 'chattering' noise?

I've heard that there may be some screws down in the door that need adjusting - but I've never looked myself.

Personally I use a 'Holts Nylon Lubricant'. It somehow softens the rubbers around the windows and stops the noise - the one I have anyway!

Hi Richard,

Im not sure how to describe the noise - but its fing annoying

You can see the window is at the worng angle and is not quite sitting tight to the rubber. too much adjustment may break the window when shutting the door.

Where are the screws? Is it a door card off job?

Best bet would be to take the door cards off and have a look, if the window isnt the correct one then you might have problems, not sure where the screws are but would guess they would be in there somewhere. Mine makes noise when drivingat higher speeds, the usual answer is turn up the music, works a treat for me you get used to it eventually. think the main problem is because the door has no frame

Yeah I understand the screws in question are behind the door card - not sure where though, as theres a sea of polythene lining behind the door card.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. I was hoping someone else might have dont this - if anyone has please post!

Im having it serviced Monday, so Ill try to get it sorted foc!

Hi,

I had some problems with the passenger window a couple of months ago, so took off the door card and had a good play with the whole mechanism. It is a 'door card off' job and you need to peel back the polythene layer behind the door card to get access to the window mechanism.

The window runners, at the front and back of the window inside the door, have adjustable stops fitted to them. It appears that you can loosen these stops and adjust them to move the window closed position up/down a little at each end.

I had a severe ‘clunking noise’ when opening/closing the window. After ages of playing with the mechanism and adjusting the stops, my problem turned out to be a missing nut, which attaches the window to the mechanism.

Hope this helps ,

v666,

I have a whistling noise above 60 mph, I took the door card off and you can indeed change both the angle and stop height of the window, its not at all difficult. However it didn't stop the whistling.

what to do is open the door slightly and note how much spare room there is between glass and door rim. Don't measure this when the door is completely closed as the window hangs slightly more towards the car when its open and is pushed out (and slightly up) when the door closes.

Adjust one adjuster at a time, marking the original position first with a pen so you know how much to move it by. Once adjusted lower and raise the window into its new position with the door open (which you will need to do anyway as you will need to plug the electrics loosly back in, don't push them on until tey click because they are difficult to undo again). CAREFULLY close the door making sure it passes under the door rim, open and repeat for second adjuster.

Then reassemble connecting the electrics completely.

Let me know if it cures the noise.

Ian.
