Winter Woes #1 - Driver’s Window Mech Self-Destruction
Oh, the joy...
Uber-frost this morning...and I made the stupid mistake of attempting to lower the drivers window whilst it was still frozen. Cue complex-sounding grinding, banging and whirring noises and a stationary window... |

oops the thread title is a bit misleading tho - "Operator Error" rather than "Self Destruction"
hopefully it's an easy enough repair Paul. |

PS, On frosty mornings, I always take a 2L milk bottle full of warm (not hot) water to pour over windscreen and side windows. If the doors won't open, I go back for a re-fill. MUST get the FBH working!

Very expensive for new (see Rimmers). I bought an excellent S/H plenty on eBay. Make sure you grease cable and pulley wheel well. Not a difficult job at all.
