window problem

hi all, ive recently changed my drivers door, electric window mechanism and rubber window guide all brand new genuine parts but every time i put the window up it pops out the wrong side of the door, i cant find anything else in the door that can be changed and im fresh out of ideas, can anyone help me please, regards Nick.

Nick,
did you get resolution with this...I have the same problem, just converted from manual to electric and same thing is happening. was happening with manual but just as bad with electric now.

any tips?

cheers,

I rather have manual any day

you can never win! just spray shit loads of silicone spray in your runners and keep the tin in the car

Windows are definitly a pain in the swifts arse!

Will get round to trying to sort it properly at some point.

Has been a while since i had the door apart but if i remember correctly the vertical runner/guide seems to bend away from the glass over time. Bending it back might help although a more permanent way to keep it there is needed.

I take it you have all seen this http://www.teamswift.net/viewtopic.php?t=17205

Keep us posted with any progress as i wanna get this thing fixed too

thanks mate, found that not long after i posted, will give it a go once I get it all wired up. sorted the wiring diagram last night so just need to install a 3 + wire loom with two 4 pin plugs and takeoff for power.

will let you know how the repair goes.

cheers

Nice one.

Im happy with wind ups as long as they bloody well wind up!

Good luck and keep us posted.

i had this same problem a few times, one day talking with the workshop boss of Suzuki, told me that they in the 90's when had this issues in the cars applied talcum powder (is google translate correct?), I tried and it works nice

i ended up using a silicone based dash spray in the runners and its been perfect for months.

boo yah!

nothing like blowing your own trumpet LOL

Pulled the drivers window mechanism out, used a vice and squished the runner so the edges were parallel then silicone sprayed the guides after a rubber cleaner.
Cant believe how dirty the rubbers were, black gunk rubbed off with fingers and balled up. yuk!
moves like a new one...not that I know what new ones were like but excellent fix.

cheers,
