dropped all the way down? if so you'll have to remove the door trim.

if not grab the window from both sides with your palms and push up at the same time as pressing up on the button.

works for me.

I'll second that.

When my driver's window went it dropped all the way down, but the pulley wired caught the regulator for an instant (I was playing with it trying to get it to work) and it popped into view. I grabbed it and applied upward pressure with my palm when I had enough window, while pressing the button, managed to get the window to slide up and stay in place...

Every situation's different. ALL are painful

With the trim off, it's a piece of cake. Just make sure you have a helper and a lump of timber handy (to keep the window from falling back down)...

I feel for ya

OMG, she just rang me up and told me the car overheated.....the water temp went past 110 and she said she saw steam coming from where the expandion tank is? what the hell is going on. ive changed most of the hoses, the thermostat and its housing..........what could be causing this? this happens only sometimes and i always managed to turn it off before it overheats...could it be the relay. if so anyone know which one? waterpump? someone please give me some guidance.....

I changed my water pump over the weekend that could be the cause of it!

**pommy_golfer** · 21-06-2007, 04:29 PM

anyone else have any ideas?

does the waterpump just stop working or does it gradually die? would it be more likely to be a relay? does anyone know which relay it is?
