Subject:Window clunks backward
From:Andrew Grebneff
Date:Thu, 8 Jun 2000 10:38:59 +1200

My driver's door (the right one) window has a problem which also afflicted
my 75 Bay.

When wound down it drops backward with a clunk against the back of the
door. When driving it clunks backward every time I step on the gas, then
moves back forward, ready to annoy me again. Anyone familiar with the
problem and its cure? A block of rubber glued to the inside of the back of
the door? I want to fix this when I electrify the windows.

With the Bay the problem wasn't there when I bought the vehicle, but
developed later. On checking I found that the channel ended just below the
window-opening, and I can't for the life of me think of where the missing
bit went. Without it there was nothing to locate the window.
