    Help!

    Hello everyone this is my first thread.
    I bought a classic which I has run very well for the past six months. I foolishly made the mistake of commenting to my wife how well the car had been and only a few hours later the front passenger window would not close.
    After taking out the door card I found that the brace on the bottom of the window had rusted to nothing and that the window is now sitting on the bottom of the door. Could anyone give me some advice, can it be repaired ( and by whom) or Is it cheaper to find a second hand door from somewhere?
    Many thanks but I am new to the area and any help is much appreciated.

    the window winder mechanism can be replaced and if your dandy with a welder a suitable piece of channel can be inserted on the guides and then suitabley lined

    Early Disco 4Door Window parts should interchange. They are easy to get at wreckers.
