Drivers window needs adjusting?

[Hazwaz7]

Hey everyone

Since I got my Zed I have noticed that the drivers side window is just a tad lower than the passenger side when the doors are shut and windows up

No water gets in but it is a lot noises on the drivers side when on the motorway

It needs to be adjusted slightly and raised, can anybody tell me how easy this is to do?

I had a search through the forums but to no avail

Thanks!

Sounds like your car isn't auto upping the last few mm to make the seal so try this
1 )Ignition on car not running
2 )Hold both windows to fully down & keep held a couple of seconds
3 ) Hold both windows to fully up again keeping them held a couple of seconds
Igntion off then start car & try opening & shutting whilst window is up , it should auto drop & up a little

This is the hardware adjustment procedure for the windows (and it is quite difficult, but must be done for example when the window mechanism is replaced):

The software reset procedure has a little bit more features than mr wilks displays, as there is a seperate erasure procedure and a reinitialisation procedure :

If the software reset and reinitialisation doesnt work, you have to do the hardware adjustments.

Brilliant, I will give it a go thank you

Thank you. That's really useful, hopefully I will get it sorted
