Window alignment

[RAW-SEWedge]

My passenger window hits the roof when I shut the door. Not by much but enough! I need to drop the rear of the window about 5mm max. Can you do this with out buggering about with the door alignment? The door aligns perfectly so I don’t want to touch it.
The bible seems to suggest this is possible but it is not clear how I don’t want to strip the door down to find out if I don’t have too.

Has anyone done this ? and if so how do you do it ?

Ta very much.

There is an adjutable cable (looks like it's from a push bike!) which limits the upward movement. Remove the door trim and you will see it through the hole at the bottom outer edge of the door. It's a 10 minute job.

There's a good artical on the door/window under the maintenance section above.

Danny's right; the cable stretches over time and so the window moves further up.

Sounds like the alignment not travel?
I had loose securing winder screws causing this once.
What about the frame?

Thanks Guys. I'll take the door panel off tonight and have a go.

My passenger window also did this. i managed to improve it by letting the window guides loosse and adjusting the line. It's better but still not perfect. I found it had to be a compromise between too high at the rear & too low at the front.

Good luck,
Mick

You can also adjust the angle of the glass buy loosening the two bolts on the door underside and then wiggling the support about,
