Window mech

Post by Whitey33 » Sun Nov 16, 2014 8:33 pm

Hi all, I just changed the n/s front window mechanism, now, when I close it window, when it's nearly shut it lowers 100mm, it's like a safety system is acting but out of sync with the window position, can this be re set, or have I done a schoolboy on the install? Cheers.

I suspect a school boy on refitting, when you took it apart did you mark the position of the frame adjusting wedges? Also did you buy original mech or eBay special ?

hold the button down for 10 secs. Then up for 10 seconds.

Or the other way round. Can't remember.

Hi,

What caused you to change the actual mechanism?

Mines packed up, see attached pic...

Ebay are selling the wires for a C5 A6, will that do he job??

Has anyone got any part no's for what needs replacing?
