Hello all, I’ve got the door cards off on my 89 convertible to tweak the locking mechanism and noticed how sloppy the windows are when I shut the door. Ie they vibrate quite a bit. I wondered if this is because the door cards are off or there maybe a bolt missing somewhere? I know the xk8 have anti rattle strips and wondered if our cars do as Well? Just in case mine have gone missing during restoration work. Any help as always much appreciated.

 

If the metal parts are tight, then the furflex-type channels the windows actually run in are worn. They are still obtainable, I think.

 

Thanks Greg , I will investigate further

 

The regulator assembly is also attached at one or two points along the bottom of the door.
Lots of times these are overlooked and they are also a point of adjustment in/out.

 

Thanks I will have a proper look
