Jambro Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I've got a problem with the windows on my gti.The drivers side window only goes up about half an inch before stopping. The passenger window goes all the way up and down, but is really slow for the top half on the way up and down.Does anyone know what the problem could be?I don't think its the motor as they wouldn't work at all? I could be wrong though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 when then windows are down, lock your car manually and hold the key in the locked position, if they go all the way up fine there is no problem with the motors.

James827 Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 my windows open at different speeds to each other, guess ones more worn.does it carry on whirring even when its stopped? take the door panels off on drivers side and have a peek for something obvious:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissCooks Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Was this resolved as my Lupo passanger window doen't lower all of the way down and sometimes it has funny turns! will go up stop half way then go back down then up and very slow until it has gone all of the way up.. if you could post an update i would be most grateful :-) x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambro Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 The passenger window now works perfectly all the way up and all the way down. But, the driver window still won't go any higher than a couple of inches from the bottom before getting stuck.I've taken the door cards off and can't see anything obvious. Is there anything I should look out for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything I should look out for?the windows are on mounts behind the rails that they move up and down on, you might not beable to see them but you can feel them, basically theyre really badly designed and might have popped off the mount as theyre simply slot onto the mounts and arent really fastened on with anything, my mates passenger side had done it on one side causing the window to go up on a slant and get stuck, and all you need to do is pop it back on and its fixed, at least his was Edited October 30, 2011 by max West-York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambro Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 All sorted, as Max said, the white plastic mount had come off the runner on the front of the door. Just loosened the clamp onto the glass, but the mount back on the runner and its all sorted!Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
