I had a problem today when the window would only go up a bit then reverse when the anti-trap feature operated.

It took a few minutes to work out why. The front rubber guide channel had worked its way up with the window pane. Getting it back took a bit of fiddling.


Remove the outer window trim to get some access
Push down on the rubber whilst running the window down. That should get it back into place.
If not, remove door trim. Don't remove the foam, it will give you no access (as I found out :( )
Remove the woofer.
Now you can get a hand in to pull down on the rubber channel whilst running the window down.
Spray some silicon lube on the rubber channel.
Button it all up.

I replaced both of mine recently and used a small amount of contact adhesive at the bottom end of the channel to hold the rubber insert in place and stop it sliding.

One of mine was in half the bottom of the door and the other was missing completely!

I retrieved one of mine from the bottom of the door a few years ago. The window didn't jam though, just rattled a lot.
