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.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys. First I have read a lot on people which have a NO DROP (which isn't my case) but I didn't find a lot of threads on people which the window doesn't drop enough. Problem with the window, passenger side. What is working: (Door closed) - Lowering and raising the window completely. (Door open) - Raising the window, the window stop at the good place to close the door and then the window raise. Each time Not working: (Door closed) - Window drop about 1/8". I can hear the motor activating the drop but for a very short time. My door panel is also removed. I have about 1/4" dropped between the stoppers. When I lower the window and then I raise it, the window stop at the good position as mentioned in the What is working, and between the stoppers I have a good 2" maybe I didn't measured it but that's a lot compared to when I want to open the door. I tried to reset the window position holding the window button, I also tried to stretch the cable.. Why the window it stopping properly when raising it, but when I want to open the door, the drop is not correct..

If you can move the glass by hand at mid-position, your cable is stretched. You can try adding nylon ties at the green plastic bits to add tension. If not then it time for new regulator. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Actually I can move the glass by hand and drop it more more about 1 inch. But I wrote to my friend and he told me he replaced the whole regulator for a cheap brand.. for an unknown reason! So from what I have read and what he said to me, everything seems to point to the regulator. I will just buy a brand new regulator this winter while the car sleeps and I will replace it. It should fix the problem! I will update this thread for sure once done.
