Help Passenger glass and quarter light problem

Post by JJG »

Hi Guys
I'm hoping someone else has had the problem that I'm about to try and describe and may be able to give me some advice.

Here goes
The passenger door glass and quarter light appear to have come lose and therefore lean out thus leaving a gap
In the top window where the glass meets the roof. Both pieces of glass move in and out and are not in the rigid position

Has anyone else experienced this if so how did you resolve it.

There is a bolt in the bottom of the door that secures both the quarter light and window channel, have a look or feel underneath the door in line with the window channel to see if the bolt is still there.

There are two more screws at the top of the door underneath the door card these are the one's that are probably loose allowing the windows to move.

Thanks for the response guys weather permitting
I'll take the door panel off and hopefully rectify the problem.
Is it a common problem ?

Hi guys Finaly resolved the issue the bolt in the bottom of the door had gone.
New bolt and is now fine.
