Rear window mechanisam went bang
« on: 20 September 2014, 09:17:21 »

Doing up rear window yesterday and it got half way up before going bang! and getting stuck. At first i thought the glue had failed on the bonding plate to the glass but after removing the rear door card I found a mess of broken platic bracket and steel cable :(  Anyone else had this problem and fixed it
?

Sorry Stu, but it appears that you're alone in this problem. I can only suggest a complete 'new' mechanism ..... assuming it's the same as the front, the mechanism will be pop riveted in place ....... not too difficult.  :y

No but similar, its fairly straightforward to replace, I got a spare for a about £12 on the net. There is a How to in the maintenance section. :y

Billy Bridges at Pease Pottage have a face lift estate and pfl saloon, window mechs the same across the range...

You will need a Dremel or cordless drill though as the mechs are riveted in place :y
