Ds5 Sport hdi. Window off runner?

Unread post by Cupra to DS5 »

Hi All,

My nearside rear window made a lovely crunchy grindy noise the other day and now won't work and the window drops a couple of inches.

Can still hear the motor working but it's doing nothing

Is this an easy fix as I can't easily see a way to remove the door card to have a closer look

Over to you guys who know these cars inside out!

Thanks

Dave

My brother's 508 did the same thing last month with the driver's door dropglass. The solution was a replacement winder mechanism.

Not too expensive (£50 odd rings a bell). Swapped the motor over and not too difficult to refit and reset.

Thanks Paul, any idea how to get the door card off at all? Don't want to go butchering it 😆
