I had my drivers side window replaced after some idiot smashed it to get to the tailgate release, and steal the spare wheel! Ever since the new replacement been in, I get wind noise more than before. Rain does not get in though. Is there a reason for this and can it be adjusted? I would"ve thought the new window would be the exact fit, or could it be the rubbers worn down over the years?
I've got the same problem. Though also, when I close the door with the window rolled down (even just enough so it doesn't hit the top seal) the glass violently bangs around. Are the guides worn out or loose or both?
i have the same prob and it drives me mad...anybody have a soulution i tried everything even greasing all the rubbers so it woulf seal more...my thought is the wing mirrior
Ok guys, cheats and tips dept is open 1) You have to remove the door panel, don't touch the plastic inner cover 2) At the top of the door there are brackets with material on them, adjust them if the window is loose halfway up. 3) Raise the window When the window comes up it is stopped by two metal cups, if those cups aren't set correctly the window will either move backward or not close properly. 4) Loosen those cups and move the window to where it should be, tighten them again and test the window up/down a few times, adjust as neccessary
right ive all that done already but it still blows and its really annoying!! would the seal around the wing mirror be screwed.... it looks like it was taped on before so thats what im thinking???
In that case you don't have the same problem as the others Post some pics and let's see, my mirrors are different to almost everybody else on here Here's a window pic (thanks to st165-2765) , the adjuster cups aren't shown but they contact with those grey rubber plugs at the bottom of the window. Those are the spacers at the top and the two bottom white hooks are supposed to push the window against the rubber when closed
oh ri!!! kk!! will do! i think its a rubber seal thats the fault!! but the mirrior is taped together too!! :?
Is there a way to adjust the window horizontally? I think mine is too close to the mirror and not meeting the back post enough
i love adjusting my windows, their so much fun...ive only had to do this a million times this year.......yes the way stigs says is the best way ive done it as well. but the rubber seal on my has worn down so no matter how much adjusting i do they still whistle some times....i just turn the music up to drown it....lool
Thanks, What I need to know is how to move the whole piece of glass by about 1cm in the direction of the door lock. I did see an article showing how to this on a gen5 but I can't fint it now
Check out this excellent how-to........ http://www.gt4dc.co.uk/info/howto/165_windows/165_windows.htm You'll see how it is possible to move the whole glass, though just slightly. Kudos goes to trel162 for putting us onto this.
