Locking car and windows falls down

[blueybug]

Its getting worse

When I lock my door the passenger side window either falls all the way down or half way.

The lock on my door is a bugger to lock too

Is this a common fault?

If so what/how can I fix it inc what parts will I need, Also drivers window wont work either.

When I saw the title of this topic I lol'd.

When I bought my lupo the drivers side lock was fully broke (lock keeps spinning) so I'm not sure if the locks have a common fault

The locking issue that you are facing is down to the bad weather over the winter

One of the pieces that makes up the barrel has broken or is on its way out

There is a kit for £15 quid off the internet, I will post the link up when I get home tonight

The window droping isnt a fault, what happens on the a lupo is when you hold the key open the windows drop, when you hold the key in the lock position the windows rise again

With your broken lock the mechanisum is getting confused and thinking you are holding the key in the open position and dropping your windows supprising that only one falls however

Its not a hard job changing the components just a bit fiddly

You get the repair kits from ebay. Just search lupo lock repair kit. easy enough to do.

You need to take the lock barrel out and lubricate it. The windows rolling down is a lock mechanism issue I would thing, guy's Golf at work does the same thing, not cheap from the dealers.
