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..!
