Battery disconnect/window drop

[speedwell]

So,having disconnected my battery to re-charge it after it went flat (me stupidly leaving lights on),I got the car running again,but,because I did not read the instructions in the drivers manual, I lost the "window drop".

So I went through the procedure in the manual and the driver side window now is OK but the passenger side has no "drop".

Which got me thinking...should the passenger one be the same as the driver side,because I've not had the car long so cannot remember if it was always like it is now.

On the other hand,if it is faulty,what do I do next?I've done a search and seen something about removing the door casing and doing a window re-set,is that next?Can anyone help?

Yes, they should both drop in unison about 5mm (in metric).

 

Try doing a window reset first - do a search for that. Taking the door card off isn't hard though.

The passenger door card is a little trickier that the drivers side because of the hand rail but still not that hard with the right guide :wink:

OK,thanks,I've found the thread which shows how to remove the door cards,I'l do the re-set.

...and well done NZ for the recent win over the Aussies...if you're bothered about cricket
