Good to know for the future. My old mechanism broke in the same place. I went down the Alfa route. Part was £100. I have the old mechanism if anybody is interested in fixing using this repair pin. My mech is for drivers door.

Mine has been doing that since last September... plus the motor has been about 30% slower than the passenger side since I bought the car so I need to get the Alfa part and frankenstein them together

So mine finally self detonated today...!
After a couple pulls of the handle to release the door from the cabin, I became aware the return spring to the release handle was weaker than usual; the window dropped and I opened as usual...
Until it didnt. I hear what I can only describe as a loud bang as I open the door...
I figured the handle mech link was falling off at first - it s bugger to fit IIRC. It was all removed to repaint the car a couple years back...But this is more than the micro switch failing...
Now the window rests half open. The glass is leaning heavily forwards. It feels like the glazing is out of the runner - can it be something so simple ?
I guess I'll need to strip it down to find out. It really hasnt been any trouble- no warning signs; just bang and done !
Its always something with these cars eh..! :worried1:
