In that case, you need to remove the window regulator, and you will see where the outer cable ferrules terminate, they enter a spring loaded white plastic part. Difficult to describe, but blindingly obvious when you are actually looking at it, but the spring loaded part is likely to be corroded, and hopefully a dose of wire brushing and a bit of light oil, such as 3 in 1 will be all that is required. The cable winds onto and off a plastic capstan, and it needs to be periodically cleaned up and checked. It should be remembered that these cars have now outlived their original design brief by some years, and components designed to last for a given period, are approaching end of life. Brian |

Hi Brian, not sure if you saw my thread about the window dropping down a little over a week or so, but as that has been diagnosed as a regulator problem could that explain the screeching sound?
Thanks. Lee.

I'd say a pound to a pinch of salt, you will find the cable is looking like a nest of rats Brian |

I periodically insert a small screwdriver between the glas and door waist seal then give it a wash out with the power washer moving the screwdriver along the full length of the seal.
A squirt of cleaner with added bleach into the seal prevents green algae build up. |

If the window seals are to be dealt with properly, then whatever you do do not rub anything on them.
They have a fine felt finish, which was obviously at one point new, and soft, glued to the inside. As soon as you wipe/rub anything between the glass and the rubber with good intention, you will reduce the window seal to just rubber on glass, and we all know how that ends up for sound and dirt/scratches. The best thing (and ive not done it yet) would be to find a source of this fine felt, remove all the old dry crud and glue off the old ones, and replace and cut to shape with a sharp knife. Where you would get the felt or what it would be called exactly I never got round to doing. All I can say is when I followed the advice on this forum for cleaning them without checking first, I regretted it as the grit and noise just got worse with plain rubber on glass. Ahh got it!! 3M Felt window guide tape! |

screeching
David, I had this up to a week or so ago and then one day I couldn't get my window UP.
I had to get wife to keep flicking the up switch while I manually pushed the window fully up, and weather has been against my stripping the door card off and examining. If you get a result I would much appreciate the information. Many thanks |
