Window reset or alignment issue?

Post by TrentSC » Fri Sep 08, 2017 12:41 am

My lovely new E85 (well, new to me) has a slight alignment issue on the driver's window and I'd be grateful for you thoughts...

When closed, the passenger window sits nicely in the rubber groove that forms part of the edge of the roof. On the driver's side, however, the window appears to overshoot by a few mm and come to rest marginally past the groove, so it doesn't fully form a seal and there's a fair amount of wind noise.

I've seen discussion of the window reset procedure and, while it appears to be designed for a different problem, I wonder if it might fix this particular niggle? Or does the combined wisdom of the forum think this might be an alignment thing which needs more work?

Thanks in advance,

Trent

Sounds more like an alignment issue to me, the reset procedure doesn't affect the upper/lower window travel limits :thumbsup:
