2 old wooden ladders have been suspended from my garage roof since I moved in 5 years ago. Decided to get rid today. Went to slide one and the whole lot, brackets and all crashed to the floor. My. Mini. Could. Have. Been. Underneath..... No idea they were hanging by a thread. Cold sweat. Cold sweat.

    Yeah, I didn't know what the problem was but after a bit of searching the internet it turns out water gets down past the windows and onto the runners on the bottom of the glass. I took the window out of the door and the runners literally crumbled off of the glass. The channels were rusted and there was no way the roller was going over it. I replaced the runners on the glass and refitted everything, no new winder mechanism needed and the window is incredibly smooth going up and down. Very...

    Hi James. Yup, exactly as you said - rusty channels. You have Mini-telepathy. Couldn't believe the state of them (both sides - had the driver's side done too). Now smooth as anything with plenty of grease. Didn't think I'd have a glass disappearing problem with a manual system (I've dropped a window in my VW by trying to open it when frozen - ouch!) but all sorted.

    Good, I'm glad you got them sorted, I wish I did have Mini-telepathy, it would save me a lot of bother when trying to figure out why my wiper blade being replaced has caused the fuel tank to fall out or something equally stupid. But those channels do get in a pretty sorry state.
