BH5 drivers window problems - can anyone in Akl help?

[lunacy]

Hey all

Went out to car this morn, and found the drivers window all the way open

After deducing that it hadn\'t been broken in to, i tried to put it up, but nothing from the switch.

Tested everything and figured the regulator was dead.

So got a working second hand reg, stuck it in, and now the window goes up near the top, seems like it hits a stop, and then goes back down to half open.

Ive tried the reset procedure with no success at all. It seems like the window is either coming up too far and catching on the rubber upper door seal, or is angling in too much, if that makes sense.

Anyone have any ideas, as its the mrs car so kinda need it working. Alternatively anyone know somewhere i can take it to sort it in akl?

Any and all input appreciated

Hop in with the car on. Hold all power windows down and keep down for about 5 seconds once they are down. Go up and hold up the same. Do this a few times and let me know if it works. Doors closed and try individually as well if it doesn\'t work. Some cars vary a lot in this procedure

Nope no joy. All other windows work fine. Drivers just goes near to top then back down to halfway

Is it only if you use the auto up? Or if you flick it bit by bit does it go up till it hits the rubber then down?

It sounds like you need to adjust the reg (loosen the lateral plate and tilt or the reg also)

That\'s if it just drops when it hits the top. It\'s trying to go right up but adjusted too high and backing off the pressure and dropping to save smashing the window

Yeah think it might be going too high.

How do you adjust the regulator?

[Fail57]

There\'s the motor that will bolt into the door with 3 or 4 bolts. There may be adjustment in the bolt holes to tilt or turn it there, or usually the other rail that bolts in with the reg with 2 bolts will be moveable. Have a play with it when the windows half down and see which way you move it does what.

Did you change the motor?

[lunacy]

Yup changed the reg and motor

It will just be a reset procedure (memory loss) thing, it took me about 7 attempts for it to work. Disconnecting door loom or car battery can cause it.
