Fab front window regulator replaced wonky window

Featured Replies

Hi all 

My 2005 vRS had a new passenger side window regulator and I noticed when testing the window it  will return to open safe position because the window is triggering the safety mechanism when it hits the top. I note compared to the drivers side I can wobble the glass side to side a little when open and also it does not sit in the door lock side channel fully until it reaches the top when it squares off.  Any ideas where to look first ?

Possibly the glass is too far forward slightly in the clamps. Compare with the other side before tearing stuff apart. Re-seating the window glass involves pulling out two grommets and loosening/tightening two 10mm bolts holding the glass in the clamps on the runner. And NOT losing the 10mm socket you use into the door when trying to withdraw it. :)
