Electric window problem on Xantia HDI

Unread post by HDI »

The drivers side front window won't fully raise and even if assisted manually to the fully closed postion it still drops within a short time. It's only by 6mm or so but it still causes alot of wind noise.
Is there a typical problem that causes this fault or do I need to change the whole window mech?
Now using '00 Xantia LX HDI, pov spec :(

Anti-pinch (current-limiting auto-stop, if fitted) may be operating if the felted window channels have become tight. Lubricate side and top channel with dose of WD40, and see if it helps. Other than that, it's a strip-out job.

Silicone lubricant is better, as it is also waterproof, so should remain even after a few downpours. You would need to re-apply it every year or so (as it gets worn away).

OK, the window has obliged me by failing completely now so, can anyone confirm whether or not the window mech from an X1 TD will fit an HDI? Asking because I have a parts donor X1 at my disposal.
