cheers for the advice!

popped round to toms and he's fixed it for me.....works better now than it eva has before! lol!

Dan, from watching what tom did and what you described, think he did what you suggested, it worked anyways! teehee! i dont even have to help the front bit up anymore, it goes alllllll the way up using just the window winder!!! teehee!!

That's great, it can't have been a bad as it looked on the photo.

minipixie, u dont want to talk him into doing mine, do ya?

it was as bad as the photo, in fact it was worse! Both runners had rusted and fallen into the bottom of the door. I'm surprised the window stayed up as long as it did.

I'd stripped down a door off my Clubby and had the window ready with good as new runners on (wierd how a 78 car with rusted out doors has good glass and runners, yet a 93' car with good doors has shot runners!), so, using Dan's advice and by taking the door apart it wasn't too bad a job to replace the glass complete, took about 20 mins.

Thanks to Dan for the advice, to steve (italianjob1275) for turning up at exactly the right moment and helping position the glass, and to the Clubby for providing a window!

All in all a job well done

(oh yeah, took the opportunity to oil the winder mechanism, and squirt lots of duck oil (have no waxoyl in at the moment) inside the door and also on the seams underneath the chrome trims, as they were beginning to go).
