[QUOTE="Fawls, post: 1578433, member: 37733"] Reading through some of the posts here I see I'm not the only one with door window issues, when I discovered mine, a panel beater I was talking to told me why the drivers window wasn't closing properly, it was going too high and not sealing when I closed the door. Upon online investigation I saw LMR had a fix, a square bar to attach to the mechanism to support it and future proof it. [MEDIA=youtube]yxEGgfY0H2s[/MEDIA] I made my own first with alloy bar but decided it had too much flex so made it out of galvanized bar which was easy using the alloy one as a template. Some months later I had the panel off the pass door and saw the same problem even though this window opened and closed as it should, so had to repeat the process on the pass door. While removing the glass (both times) I scratched the hell out of the window film (tint?) so removed the film from both. I fully cleaned and re bonded the glass to the mechanism and added the support brace, hopefully it will last now.
