Self lowering keep-fit windows

[beemerbird]

I have spotted on a number of occasions that one of my rear, keep-fit windows on my touring has been lowered by about 10mm.

This is something it does all by itself.

Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a cure?

TIA

It happens on my wifes mazda 2 and her Almera before that. She had the idea of adjusting the winder handles so that they were fully downwards when the window is fully up. Hopefully gravity acting on the handle will stop the window coming down as oppose to helping the window come down by it being in the 10 o'clock position for example.
I haven't tried it yet but it might work.

Sorry for the long winded answer

I love Mrs320s logic.

Bump for antipodean advice

Yes, as above believe it or not.

Armstrong windows are SOOOO council . I do have a complete electric rear conversion if you wish to go
all exec on us !

Executive, Moi? Don't think so. I've only just managed to crawl out of the swamp of modified turd ownership

[daimlerman]

Check carefully that the winder handle clears the folded rear seat,I had to replace a snapped handle on the current touring for just this reason!

BTW,both of my rear windows are stiff to wind down,I assume a lack of lubrication is the cause,but I never sit in the back anyway....

I have the same problem which is a real arse every time I go the car wash and forget to check the windows.

[beemerbird]

That's good to know, Marty. I was beginning to think that I had the only Touring afflicted with this particular problem!

^^^nope my near side rear does the same thing.

[beemerbird]

Feeling better now Sanchez. There's nothing worse than an E30 problem that nobody else has come across

Im gone to give the 3 oclock position a try.

[beemerbird]

Me too

3 o clock on the drivers and 9 o clock on the passenger side

Electric windows FTW

similar story on both sides here, i always assumed it was me knocking the handles getting stuff in and out the back.
