Window Makes Door Closing Harder!!?? How do I fix?

[matty231]

Hey everyone, about a month ago I had to fix my door because the key socket in the door fell out so I had to reposition the window (temporarily) to access the door handle.

Now problem is after I re-assembled the door, my door requires more force than the other doors to close it. And the problem is the window, it seems to be a bit higher than the others therefore not closing unless forced.

I've spent hours testing different positions and it seems it won't work!!! DAMNIT!

Anyone know what I could do to fix the position, like where the guide bolts should be positioned.

Now, the bolts im playing with are the gold bolts, at the top there are a set of 2 on either side and bottom just 1 on each side, they have small washers on each of them.

If possible anyone with help could call me 0211576921 or just reply here, any response is helpful thanks!

There is a random bolt or two in the door somewhere with a sliding stop attached to it. This adjusts the upper stop of the window.

Move the window to as high was you want it to go then remove the doorskin (don't lower the window).

Loosening those bolts (don't remove, it looked like it would be a PITA to put the stop back on) should make the stop fall on to the moving part of the window frame. At most a very light pressure should be needed unless yours is rusty. Do the bolt back up and the new upper stop position is set.

That was on a 1st gen front door and is from memory, so there's a fair chance it's different to yours.

Did you remove the door? Or just the window?
