Having searched the forum there is the odd reference to the window glass being removed from the outside on an X2.
I only have an X1 manual and clearly that doesn’t work.
Also, when trying to lower the door glass to the 2/3rds position it fouls the central door locking module.
Is it just a case of somehow stripping all the outside seals off to remove the glass?
I don’t wish to break any more glass on the car...
Not today!

Re: Xantia X2 front door glass removal
Well. I’ve managed to get it out. Just not sure how it’s going back in.
This dropped out from somewhere!

And I don’t think this cable is recoverable...
Kenny W. Do you have one that looks like this?

Re: Xantia X2 front door glass removal
Plus the green clip looks broken so I have no reference as to where the cable should sit in the clip.
Time to abort this job I think and get on with something productive on the car.

All back together. Not too much of a faff. I imagined it would be much worse hence posting.

Re: Xantia X2 front door glass removal
Sorry Roger been elsewhere today, seen your posts.
I did have both mk 1 and mk2 window regulators but went with car to friend that was 5 years ago.
But I kept the window clips for some reason.
IIRC the wire was not unwound when I replaced same. to remove the glass I lower the glass and till I could access clip and slowly lifted it out of door frame.

It's alright Kenny. I was getting you confused with admiral51. So you have the clip. I must remember.KennyW wrote: ↑07 Mar 2021, 16:57 Sorry Roger been elsewhere today, seen your posts.

Re: Xantia X2 front door glass removal
Does anyone have an advice from replacing front driver's window regulator on an Series 2 Xantia.
I seem to recall I have taken the regulator out at some point in a vain attempt to repair the wire but stupidly didn't know bookmarking existed and therefore if I did find a topic (one of my comments above suggests I found nothing 2 years ago) I failed to bookmark it.
I search my previous posts history and see if I can come up trumps but if anyone has any knowledge they can impart in the meantime it would be appreciated. I will post back here either way once I've completed searching in the next half hour or so, so as not to put anyone out unnecessarily.
I seem to recall I probably had to remove the door lock and the poseur strip has signs that I removed that as it is slightly misshapen at the end. I have a very vague recollection of removing rubbers too?

Re: Xantia X2 front door glass removal
Roger from memory i have a feeling that if you remove the window runners/channels the window glass is removed by lowering it by hand into the bottom of the door and pull the top towards you and out but it was a very long time ago i had to remove it so i could be thinking of another Citroen possibly the C5 X7.

Note, the outer rubber strip is held in place with a rivet behind the plastic pillar trim. Do not pull it or you will wreck it !
