Thread: D1 Pass. side window problem.

No one? At all?

There was me thinking this forum was the font of all knowledge.

I did mine last year 4bee and my memory is a bit hazy without the manual to look at.

I don't really understand the problem you have - is it that the sliders are not in the bottom track? If so I remember unscrewing the track and fitting it to the sliders and then screwing the track to the door. I taped the glass to the door frame to hold it up while doing this. Am I right in thinking that you are working on the front door?

Some pics would help,

Cheers Charlie

Thanks Chas.

Yes that is it, but I don't recall the tracks being screwed on to the glass frame though. Maybe they are but I haven't noticed it??????

That would be good if they were.

If so I remember unscrewing the track and fitting it to the sliders and then screwing the track to the door.

Maybe we are not on the same tram, as the bottom glass frame/edge is not screwed to the door but fixed to the glass & the slider blocks lift it. Not unless I am way off beam here.

Yes, it is the front NS door.


Edited: Just had a look, & the channels overlap the glass frame behind & they are spot welded to it so no joy there then.

ho har has done my passenger and drivers windows lots of times......I will get him on here when he gets home....OK

Thanks Ms HH. Would appreciate it. I want to tackle it tomorrow morning. Or Mr Glass Channel meets Mr Angle Grinder.

Failing that, when is he vacationing in South Australia next?

Hi, there was a change in the windows in mid 1994 - i assume you have the earlier one with the square plastic slide blocks and the channel fixed to the bottom of the glass.

I have removed several of these earlier ones - never re-assembled the early one. I assume you locate the square blocks into the channel at the bottom of the glass, then put the second set of guide blocks into the second channel and screw this back onto the door.

On the later models which I am farmiliar with, you unscrew the channel off the glass with 2 screws and don't (can't) remove the small round guide blocks out of the channel. You also unscrew the second slider with guide blocks intact.

Yes I have the square block type with the fixed bottom channel. ('95 MY. split AC) If they are 'early' ones then they raided the parts bin for leftovers from the 200. I realise that would be most unusual for LR.

I assume you locate the square blocks into the channel at the bottom of the glass, then put the second set of guide blocks into the second channel and screw this back onto the door.

That's my problem, how to get the bottom two blocks into the split tracks as at the moment they are outside of the channel.

The single top channel is no big deal as it can be located & at the mo is inserted ok.

Maybe I have to move the motor/actuator around & try it. I guess I will wait & see what Mr ho har says.

Ms hohar. I doubt I can wait that long.
