Thread: Rear-door windows on the dual-cab defenders dropping?

Happens on my 2008 110 Wagon too! Every two weeks or so I find I can hear the one behind my seat but thee passenger side I need to check as well from time to time.

If I'm off road for any length of time, it happens much more quickly.

I noticed that someone's solution was to ensure the window handle was at BDC with the windows in the up position.....but this is already the case with mine and still they work themselves down a touch.

Can't say I'm really bothered by it unless it's going to become a security issue.

I had a similar issue with my recently built '95 130 dual cab. I moved the winder handle to about 5 o'clock on the right and 8 o'clock on the left and it seems to have cured the problem. Apparently this was a common problem on Holdens in the 60's and 70's due to the weight of the steel handles. They have to be positioned so that gravity on the handle is try to "wind the window up".

Yep, my 2007 110 does the same even after re-positioning the winder to the 5 oclock position

my 2000 130 defender does it too as does a friends 06 110 wagon.

moving the winders causes it to happen slower but it still happens.

good to see the tradition carried on to the new pumas

MY 2011 defender does this, i was going to buy some of the black bunjji straps and attached to the door cards to lock them in place when i dont want them open.

I wonder if the solid steel HQ Holden handles have the same spline.......

.... or perhaps we could hang one of those offensive chrome ball bags that Hilux-jocks sport on their tow bars on the LR handle.

Cheers guys.
I didn't think i was alone there, and it seems the dealer wouldn't really be able to do anything about it either... I'll change the handle position as suggested and see how it goes.

Mine too, however on the Pommie forums no mention. Me thinks its the corregations.
