One of these things where I've googled but every answer is "do the initialisation" which I don't think is it (and I've done it several times along the way) so I'm looking for people who've dug into how the regulators work.
My driver's window doesn't quite drop *enough* when the door opens. The motor whirrs and backs up a bit as it's meant to but the glass barely moves. With the hardtop on, if I don't push the glass down a bit before shutting the door, it clouts something hard and sounds very unhealthy.
A while ago I had the door apart and lubricated the nylon mechanisms as it seemed slower than the passenger side. Runs nicely now but I can't remember if that upset the amount it drops. I was quite intrigued by the mechanism as it seems to have a spring buffering action to, presumably, soften the load on the cable as the glass runs out of travel.
So am I likely to have buggered things up by lubricating it, or have I dislodged one of the little white blocks that sit around the wire rope?
I'm trying to summon up the enthusiasm to go outside and play with it so I thought I'd look for enlightenment!
