What's wrong with my windows?

[hanseandy]

Hi all,

Anyone had a problem with a drivers side window that winds halfway up then stops and goes back down?

My Octavia has just started doing it and my Touran does it too - is this normal or is there a solution?

Thanks all

Or the motors are knackered.

Could be, but it's still worth while trying the lubricate the channels before condemning the motor. It's free, and if it doesn;t solve the problem, there isn't anything lost.

Does the glass seem to go up and down very slowly?

Very true.

Cheers for the responses,

@ Mike no the windows are not slow moving at all. I will try some gt85 in the runners, fingers crossed that does the trick!

Did this fix your problem?   Mine has started doing this.... Thanks Tom.

This happened with my focus, it was a kink in the rear rubber trim and had to replace the frame of the window

I had a similar problem. Happened on both front windows at the same time. Glass went half way up then stopped and went down again.

Quite worrying in the rain & cold but a few tries and it cleared and not happened since so I suspect the 'safety feature' was the cause and a good clean of glass edges and seals may do the trick.
