Window out of alignment !!

[nelly180]

Hi I have a slight problem, my driver side window is not square when fully closed, it is down at the back edge and the front edge is higher hence a gap when its shut so rain is getting in and wetting my seat. Any ideas on how i can adjust it so I can shut my window, cheers all.

Might be an idea to check whether the window stop is still intact - and if not, replace it : http://mgf.ultimatemg.com/group2/the_ea ... owstop.htm

Cheers Rob, tried to check the stop but the window doesnt come down all the way, it stops before i can see it through the speaker hole. Oh joys

HA HAAAAAAAAA !! Joys at last after further investigation i had a look at the window stops from above its a black one which is cool and wasnt broken at all, so i put it up and down, and there was the answer staring me right in the face.......... the window stop was on top of the window stop stop (hope that makes sense ) so i took the stop stop off and put the window right down, the re-fitted the stop stop and re greased all the runners with teflon grease, then came the moment of truth, i put the window back up and EUREKA the window fits flush now and goes up and down like a dream.

Hi Nelly,

Pleased to see you've got your leaks sorted out. However, if you've overdone the hood clamps you will break the locking lever(s). When I reset mine I used the garden hose on fine spray an adjusted the clamping to just stop water getting past the seals. I had one locking assy break when I first got my F. You cannot buy spare parts. You have to buy a whole assy. There should be little effort to move the lever into the locked position.

Good luck
