Hi All,

As i wind down my window my window decides to open at an angle.

Ive popped the door card off and i can see that runner has become seperated from the glass.

Are these runners crimped on opr stuck on? What can i do to resolve this issue?

Cheers

They are basically just push fitted in place, what tends to happen is that rain water gets in and corrodes them causing them to swell and detach/seperate from the glass at one end. If the corrosion isn't too extensive you can sometime remove the runner, grind the rust away, then repaint, reshape and refit, but if it's too bad then you will need replacement runners.

If you do replace then make sure that you order the correct part though as they are "sided/handed"
