Window regulator adjustment

Athorpe · 4th October 2017, 17:13

Is it possible to adust the maximum lift on the window regulator , my drivers side front seem to stop a little low. Only be maybe 4-5 mm
It stops just level with the outer seal where the others stop behind it

It's probably something worn or starting to come apart.

I think the window normally comes to a halt as the electrical pressure in the system rises.

With yours it seems, because of wear maybe, the window is not even reaching the end of its travel.

I'll take the door card back off and have a look. Try lubricating the seals to incase it's just tight.

When I've had worn windows before you can u say lift them the extra big helping by hand but this one just stops there every time

There are three positions you can place the outer cable ferrule on the window regulator, however it would be my inclination that you have a problem with the anti trap seal on the window, causing the motor to stop

As you say once you have the door card off you can see what you're up against
