| 1286630 | 2012-07-07 07:58:00 | While in Christchurch our electric window in the drivers door has started playing up. It goes down fine but when sending it back up it goes crooked and wont go all the way up as the corner hits the top of the frame. Who do you go to to get this sort of thing looked at? An Auto electrician, a garage other? Never had one go wrong before so don't know where to take it |

| 1286632 | 2012-07-07 08:35:00 | I have a similar problem with my Toyota Funcargo. I put it in the Garage for an oil change and when I came back I was told that they had put the window down and the window had exploded. My car does tend to self lock itself if I forget to lock it, this can be inconvenient. The mechanic had put the window down so that he could get into the car if it did self lock. Before I took the car to a garage I did have problems with the window only going half way down but it still went up again. AMI approved the glass repairs as I do have glass insurance. I was told that the door must have been blown open at one stage and buckled the door. I need to take it to a panel beater to get the buckle fixed. In the meantime I have had the electrics disconnected to prevent another broken window. An auto electrician should be able to fix the electrics but you may also have a buckled door. |

| 1286634 | 2012-07-07 09:54:00 | Take a peek inside, google for instructions on taking the door panel off, usually a couple of screws (very easy) and wee what the problem is. If it's something fallen off it's an easy prod back into place or if it looks too hard/serious you can either DIY replace or go to a mechanic/auto technician. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1286635 | 2012-07-07 10:27:00 | Take it to a good panel beater. These guys know the ins & outs of car bodies, and how it should be. | BobM (1138) | ||
| 1286636 | 2012-07-07 21:06:00 | Mine did that when I bought it. Rang Toyota, they said it was the regulator, wanted $999 for a new one. Went to the wreckers and got the entire unit, motor and all for $125, husband replaced regulator and it's all better.... |

| 1286638 | 2012-07-08 00:16:00 | took the panel off and can't see any problems inside. The rubber seal up e side of the window is split and it loks like that could be pushing the window over when it hits the split part | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1286639 | 2012-07-08 00:45:00 | Operate the window and watch what happens. YOu may need to install a new piece of channeling. | Bryan (147) | ||
