Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys, well I've had this since ive got the car but it's starting to get worse now ive noticed. the passenger side window doesnt seem to go up as far the the drivers side window does so it lets air in when i'm driving over 80 and gets really bad at 140mph on a resent track day. I've tried re-setting my windows but I think it's the stop point for the window being up that is the problem. the windows have a small radius on the top rear corner of the glass on the drivers side window when it's fully up this radius cant be seen and goes under the rubber seal. the passenger side window radius is visable when fully up and doesnt seem to seal properly to the point you can push the window from the inside outwards and you cant push the drivers side. Anyone had this or have any idea's how i can sort this or is it a job for the garage to look at as it seems it's hitting it's top limit too soon and no matter how many times i rest the windows it's still in the same the place. any info greatfull guys.. A

POST 2Original post

I would try retraining it first. Press and hold down the button for at least 10 seconds after the windows has fully opened. Then do the same for fully closed. If that does not work then you may need to take the door apart to adjust the door window height - (not for the faint of heart). Here are the instructions - do it at your own risk... From the service manual: Quote Adjusting the door window height 1. Adjust the upper limit stops of the drivers by screwing the Torx screw no in or out with socket E6 in or against the direction of travel. Adjustment range approx. 15 mm 2. Adjust the drivers so that they meet the upper limit stops at the same time. Note! The adjusting screws of the drivers for the upper limit stops for the door window height are accessible through 2 holes at the bottom of the door. Adjustment procedure: 1. Open the doors 2. Lock door lock with a screwdriver. 3. Move the power window regulator into its upper position. 4. Adjust door window height at the drivers so that the door window evenly projects approx. 2 mm above the roof strip. Checking the adjustment 1. Close the doors. 2. Use a wax marker to mark the door window along the roof strip. 3. Actuate the door handle until the window lowering function is activated. Adjustment valve for window lowering function approx. 13 mm Note! The wax marking along the door window should be uniformly approx. 4 mm. Adjustment of the door window pressing force on the door seal at the top and sides 1. Move the power window unit rails by approx. 10 mm outwards or inwards. Note! The adjusting nuts of the power window unit rails for the pressing force of the door window upper edge against the convertible top are accessible through two holes at the bottom of the door. Adjustment procedure: 1. Open the doors. 2. Move the power window regulator into its upper position and undo the combination nuts M6 of the power window rails. 3. Adjust the power window unit so that the upper edge of the door window is sufficiently pressed against the door seal at the side Tightening torque: 10 Nm (7.5 ftlb.) Checking the adjustment: - Clamp a sheet of paper between the door window and door seal. Note! It must not be possible to pull out the sheet of paper.
