Rear door window slide problem 900 1997

Hi there,

I own a 940 2.0 Turbo SW petrol (1997) and recently the rear door window (driver side) when sliding up doesn't stay parallel as it should but, the left side (the one close to the fixed glass if you look at it sitting in the rear seat) goes out of its guide channel because the right side tends to be late in lifting up.

I removed the door interior in order to investigate a possible reason but I didn't notice anything strange.
I do not think the guide channels are the problem because I changed them already two years ago. The motor works perfectly and the window lift mechanism seems to work fine.

I am stuck at the moment, is there anything that needs to be fine tuned to correct the sliding so that the glass slides up balanced on both sides?

Thank you for your precious help.

Regards
Alex

Rear door window slide problem 900 1997

I would remove the door panel leaving the power window switch in place.
Lower the window just a bit.
Loosen the 3 10mm bolts attaching the mechanism to the door panel.
Now raise the window until it sets into the upper channel.
Tighten the 3 bolts and double check the full travel of the window.

If you still are having a problem then the actual window tracks may need to be re-adjusted down in the door frames.
You will need a 10mm socket to loosen each bolt located down at the bottom of each track.
Manually manipulate each track to tilt the track back to the proper orientation.
You will want the window in the up position while adjusting the tracks.
