Through breathtaking idiocy on my part, whilst attempting to have a look/fix the drivers side doorlock, my o/s electric window is now out of all of it's runners. I have tried and failed for about 2 hours to put it back on to no avail. Searching for a pictorial guide here, or any step by steps instructions hasn't worked, and the Haynes is useless. Anyone that can tell me how to put it back together..?

Chris.

Best to unbolt the window regulator, get it back on the window then bolt it back in.

Thanks Chris. Hoping to get back to you on the parts situation if I ever sort this out :o:

Am I right in saying there are three runners that connect to the rail running under the window? Can't even figure out how to put them on.. Anyone got any pictures of one in situ?

After a lot of swearing, and lookng at the pic of the regulator on your site Chris, I've fixed the window. Back to square one with the locks though :roll:
