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 😆

Hi Dave

I had the same problem with my DS5 last year. Getting the door panel back on was a nightmare, the clips just would not pop back into the holes in the door. I found some other clips that were perfect. Let me know if you want more info. Also, be aware of the two red LEDs that need to be positioned carefully as you offer the panel back up. One illuminates the cup holder, the other is I think for the door release handle. Good luck.
