Adjusting cabriolet window guides

Post

Back to the top
Editing post to add this is an 89 cabriolet gti with manual windows and after market remote c/l.


I'm after some advice please. It seems that the window guides foul a lug on the lock assembly and prevent the door locking/unlocking. If I push or lift the lug at the same time as pressing the remote c/l button, the lug does it's job and the door locks or unlocks. If the window is up a small square plate on the window guide obstructs it. I think the vertical window guide needs to move horizontally away from the lock assembly, but I cant see how to do it. Anyone had the same problem or got an alternative solution? Attached is a pic looking through the outer handle aperture. Thank you.

Need to know the year and model as in tin top type or vert.

Manual window regulator or Electric.


The rear window channel is held in place usually by a bolt and nut at the top of the window channel inside edge of the door and 2 10mm bolts at the bottom that allow the rail to move in or out which moves the upper mount in or out as well. as it moves, inside the glass moves towards the outside at the top.  so the adjustments kind of work in opposing fashion.

Make sure that all the window mech bolts are snug and not missing. as each bolt affects the window mech.


here are a vert.

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

Thank you. I put cabriolet in the title but I missed it from the main text, apologies. It’s an 89 mk1 GTI cabriolet with manual windows. I’ll use your instructions to have a look later. Many thanks
