similar set up to the mk4 golf,I have one here in bits at the moment

[Sir Tigger KC]

Thanks Henry, but it's the wrong door unfortunately.    That's the P1 (98-01) door and mines the P2 (02-07). 

I'll pop the door card off again and take a photo... 

[Doctor Gollum]

Have you a Haynes manual for it?

[Sir Tigger KC]

Have you a Haynes manual for it?

No... 

There's a few 'How to' videos on changing the window regulator, but the knackered window channel is by the hinges and as said the only access is through a small hole. 

[Doctor Gollum]

Door liner and glass out, then remove the channel and repair or replace.

At risk of repeating myself 

Clear all the crap out of the way and you'll have all the access you need. Pull the door if it makes it easier to work on...

[Sir Tigger KC]

I'll have another look.... 

[Sir Tigger KC]

This is the same as my door and the small hatch at the front is where the knackered window channel is. 

I'll have another look tomorrow if it's dry to see how it's fixed in. 

[Doctor Gollum]

Pull the speaker as well

[henryd]

Pull the speaker as well

^^^ What DG said,that'll give you room

[Sir Tigger KC]

I pulled off the door card again this morning before the rain set in and removed the speaker as well. 

Unfortunately the window channel is pretty mangled and also is welded in, but I had a go at straightening it out anyway without success. 

The skies darkened and the wind picked up, so I hastily put it all back together and beat a retreat before the heavens opened to fight another day! 

Luckily I don't think I'll need to open the window for a while anyway! 

[Doctor Gollum]

New door it is then... 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Probably... 

What a pisser and all because I didn't get round to sorting a minor problem with a £10 part!   

The moral of the story is....

Don't buy an Ovlov?

Don't buy an Ovlov?

For a sub £1000 workhorse banger it's a great car and there's not a spot of rust, which is pretty good for a 16 year old with 165k on the clock. 

Although the drive is uninspiring and the turning circle is crap, the 2.4 D5 is pretty lively and has plenty of grunt when needed.  I'd have another, but I'd try and find the AWD version or maybe the XC70, as it really should be RWD!
