After driving home last weekend and scaring the life out of my Dad for 20 minutes in the Elise he got out of the car and shut the door quite firmly, shall we say.
The window was down and made a bit of a rattle, then on my way back up to the toon i tried to put the electric window up and it got nearly to the top when suddenly it almost moved forward on its mountings and stopped angled forward with about a quater inch gap remaining towards the front.
After a bit of 'crying' and pulling, the window righted itself and shut properly.
This happened again today so i'm thinking it may have fallen off its mounting,

Is it simple enough to allen key off the door panel and re mount this myself or do I take it to HHC for them to fix???
HELPPPPPPP! please.

Im sure this is not a Lotus specific repair.. Id think any half decent mechanic can fix this, would save a lot of money.

Car's still under warranty, so give HHC a call, explain the problem, ask for advice.

Probably any main dealer can do work under warranty, so try F1 as well, since it's a bit handier for you.

It'd probably be worth posting questions like this in the PH Elise Forum as well, a host of knowledgable people on there:

unscrew the inside panel and the mechanism will be exposed, should be a simple fix from then on in...even I managed to fix mine this way last week hehe
