Suggestion · Original poster

Is this simply because there is no battery to roll the windows down a little and/or run the actuators?

And eliminates the slight potential that the ebrake cable set stuck, or a pads fuzes to the rotor.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

Folks - Newbie Mawgie here. Couldn't find the answer with Search........ My '02 Carrera Coupe is in a storage unit for the winter. There is no battery in the car. I opened the doors today to roll the car around in the unit and reposition it. When finished, the doors wouldn't close all the way. Is this simply because there is no battery to roll the windows down a little and/or run the actuators? Fix is simply to take the charged battery over and temporarily connect it to get electrical power to get the doors closed, right? (Yes, I did leave the trunk propped slightly open!) Thanks.

POST 2Original post

You are correct on all points. Absolutely normal. Just connect the battery long enough to close the doors.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, Thundertub. Blazing fast assistance. Most appreciated.

POST 5Original post

Store the car in neutral, and block the wheels. No need to open the doors. This is better for the tranny and brakes/rotors too. And eliminates the slight potential that the ebrake cable set stuck, or a pads fuzes to the rotor. Does the storage faciltiy have an overhead light bulb. Here is your power source for a battery maintainer....hint hint.

POST 6Original post

its the window... they haven't dropped and is hitting the rain gutter... just push the window inward to try to squeeze it under the guard.... Or am I way off?

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
