88 Carrera Door Glass Loose

[robcf]

Hi All,

I've noticed a rattle coming from my passenger door and upon inspection of the door glass its loose.

What I mean by loose is that if I lower the glass half way, grab the glass towards the front of the door, I am able to move it an inch or more up or down.

I am not able to move the rear of the glass up or down and the drivers side door glass does not move at all.

Any thoughts on what would allow the glass to move??

Looking forward to your replies,

Rob

The bottom of the glass fits into a metal channel. There is a rubber gasket between the two. It's essentially a press-fit, although I have seen sealant in there as well, to "glue" it into place. Yours is not holding the glass tightly, so you need to remove the interior door trim and have a look to see why. Might be that the channel is rusted, might be something else. I'd quit yanking on it, if I were you.

And the metal channel has two wheels, one front and one in back that move in the female carrier as it goes up and down. Maybe a wheel wore out and fell off or the glass is loose in the channel. No matter what, it has to come apart to see whats up. The Bentley is pretty good at describing dis-assembly as I remember when I did mine for paint last winter. Its a lot of parts coming off to get the window out of the door so take lots of photos of the trim bits and how everything fits. If the felts and wipers in the door are original, good chance to replace all that stuff, look for other threads. Good luck.
