XKR WINDOW PROBLEMS

My 03 XKR passenger window goes up CROOKED in the track, and will go UP TOO FAR, past the normal stopping point.

Started doing this when driver tried to put window up and the passenger was putting it down. Panel is off, can't find much wrong, but a little 1/4" x 1/4" x 1/16th white plastic piece was in the bottom of door.

Any help would be appreciated. Loved the instructs on removing the door panel.

Sounds like you need a window regulator.

RE: XKR WINDOW PROBLEMS

white plastic - 'slider' for the window runner? replace with new one (dont cost much, couple of quid).

if window is going up crooked, check it is sat properly in the side runners.

window going up past the stopping mark, re-programme it -take window down and hold switch down, count to10 slowly, then window up and count 10 slowly.

let us know how you get on.

RE: XKR WINDOW PROBLEMS

Whew! Fixed now, without having to buy a $1080 window regulator.

It was the window regulator adjustment nut, found in the center of the door, after you pull off the moisture barrier plastic. Its an 11mm self-locking nut, and it was loose, making the window bind when when the window went up. I tightened it up, window went up without binding, but was still crooked in the door. By adjusting that nut up or down in the slot, I could straighten it out so the window sits perfectly when closed.

Thanks to all those who helped.....
