Nylon/ plastic window sliders

Post

Back to the top
Hi all. Would anyone know where or if i can get replacement white sliders for the front windows on my cabby.
There is a lot of play on these when they travel up and down the guide and are also contributing to that annoying door rattle on bumpy roads…
These sliders are mounted on a plate held on with a couple of 8mm bolts that go through 2 holes in the bottom of the glass.
Any help appreciated. 20180123_134903.jpg

If you are talking about a cabriolet electric or manual.

the pn should be
155837577A

number 38 here.

Shows that it is still available on some sites.

But the real issue with rattling is the inner and outter scrapers being shot.


What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Where are my DIY Links?

Number 38. Yep thanks Briano. New inner and outer scraper seals fitted a few months back when the doors were stripped bare for painting.
Seems the noise has always been there pre and post stripping and new seals.
Think I'll still get a pair ordered anyhow as there is quiet a lot of play in them.
Cheers👍

Hi matey. Think I've exhausted all avenues to be honest. Local dealer TPS Notts have told me they've been discontinued since 2011.
Its really frustrating as i would of paid the £40 odd for the parts but £38 delivery for something that would weigh less than half a kilo takes the mick.

Sorry about the price of shipping, there are places like that over here that charge out the posterior as well I have been Stung by that as well but only after I ordered….

You could buy a louder Radio, and Turn it up. :)

Pack them out with more grease might stop the rattle?

Might have a look at mine as my window rattles when it's any lower than about an inch, and thing above that the B pillar seal holds the glass still, no problem when wound all the way down.
