physh Member 248 Member For: 22y 2m 26d Location: Canberra Posted 01/01/03 07:54 AM Share Posted 01/01/03 07:54 AM Weird.Noticed over the last couple of days the following behaviour from my window:1. When winding up from any position after winding down, I get a loud CLUNK from inside the door. None of the other windows do this.2. When drivers window reaches full closed position, there is an even BIGGER clunk that shakes the door.Anyone else seeing this sort of thing?booked it in to the dealer for monday anyway.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physh Member 248 Member For: 22y 2m 26d Location: Canberra Posted 02/01/03 05:40 AM Author Share Posted 02/01/03 05:40 AM Fixed - drove in and drove away half hour later.It's a cable that the window goes past that contacts the glass, when the edge of the glass goes past, it clunks back into place.15 minutes and a cable tie... yay...

There were 2 fixes for this.The first was to drill a hole along side the weld nut and secure the window cable with a nylon tie, or fit a bolt to the weld nut that was long enough to stop the cable from actually getting stuck on it.Good to see that it was fixed properly though.

Mine does that too, ocassionaly. Adds to little list of things to do when it next goes in after the new year, like ocassionaly leaking coolant.
