RallyeBaz Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 The window goes down fine, but when you press the button to go up, it stops 1/3 of the way and comes back down again.Any ideas ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 It's the `anti-pinch` mechanism (that stops you cutting someone's head off) getting confused because the window is too stiff - you need to grease the runners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArosaPD Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 I had exactly the same problem with my Arosa. Both windows would motor down fine, but would do exactly the same as yours when I motored them back up again. All you need to do is go to your local Halfords store and get a Silicone, I emphasise Silicone based lubricant. I bought 3in1's Silicone Lubricant (£4.99), then used the little red straw to direct the lube into the sides of the window rubber guides and the jobs a good'un. The stuff I used is very good and doesn't leave any residue or mess on the window, but remember you only need to do the sides. I've not had any more probs with mine since doing this to them. Hope this is of help to you. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArosaMike Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 My drivers one does it. I need to sort it out really. I was hoping that it would fix itself as the rubber softened up with use but it hasn't! Silcon grease it is then style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Mine does it, l took it into the stealers and they said it was the window regulators and they replaced them. Fixed it for a while but they've started to do it again. GREAT!Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdwindustries Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 yeah tis the runners - as said above just get some good grease and put tiny amount on guides (no need to take anything off)put the window up a few times and it will be sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicki Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 My passenger window does that too. Its going into the stealers tomorrow anyway (brake light switch, again... only 6 wks since it was allegedly replaced) so I might add it to the list...

tdwindustries Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 had my window guides replaced under warranty, then back in for a greasin, but just do it myself now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 One of the guys at my work has a Golf MKIV and he lowered his passenger window the other day only for it to go shooting down inside the door and crack!Turns out that both of the retaining clips had just failed and with nothing to hold the window up it had gone shooting inside. Anyway he stuck it in to his local garage and they are fixing it but the clips that failed and hold in the window have been totally redesigned apparently when you compare them to the old ones.Hope this isn't the case with Lupo's too?
