Will Cheyney Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 (edited) Hi folks. The drivers side electric window in my Lupo won't go all the way down. It works faultlessly otherwise. It doesn't get stuck, the motor doesn't click. But it stops about three quarters of the way down as if it's reached the bottom. I've tried a new switch. Inside the door I've checked the rails and they're nicely lubricated and the sliding white clips aren't broken or dislodged. Has anyone else experienced this? What is the likey culprit? I could replace the regulator but don't know whether to buy a kit that also includes a replacement motor or not. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Rich Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 It's hitting something inside the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 if it goes up and down the same speed as the drivers door, then follow @Rich 's advice. If it kinda slows down just before stopping, it could be nothing more than the glass felt tracks need some silicone oil spray lube. That often helps. If you've had it in pieces, you'll see that there's not much that can go wrong- if all the plastic bits are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Did it go all the way down before? My passenger side door loom liked to come loose and stop the glass - just look under the lower panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Cheyney Posted May 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Thank you all. I took another look and saw nothing out of place. So, I went to town with greasing the rails. Sorted it! There must have just been too much old crusty grease causing resistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
