Window mechanism

[AidanT]

Hi all

What is the best method to ease off the door window opening mechanism on a GT6?

 

Mine have always been hard to open and downright dangerous if driving at the same time.

 

Now I have fitted new inner seals its even harder

Thx

Hi Aidan,

 

You will need to take off the door card which means first removing the window winder handle. This is done by pushing out the pin. The inner handle escutcheon plate also needs to come off. Then the door car can be removed. Now, it may be that the glass is tight in the guides because they are not adjusted correctly. Try slackening off the rear guide by loosening the retaining screws on the face of the door. There is also more adjustment on the right angle bracket at the bottom of the guide. Slacken this off to and you should then be able to move the guide in and out and up and down. The winder mechanism itself but I think the glass guides are the more likely cause.

Thanks John. Did as you said and wound the window up and down a few times. Also added a drop of oil on the winding mechanism then tightened it all up again. Now seems fine to me but the acid test will be if the he wife can open it????
