Hi Folks,
I have a 2005 1.2 16v Expression 2dr (leccy windows, no ac -the model just before the Mk3 arrived) and sadly some utter twunt stoved in my drivers door- not leaving details or anything.
Genuinely anoyed as the car was in perfect condition previously - polished religiously -without a scratch.
Not having the funds to get it sorted properly just yet- I went at the dent with a bathroom plunger and it seems to have done an adequate cosmetic job- now looks like a shopping trolley ding rather than the mess it was. I'm happy with that bit for the time being.
However, upon winding the window down (probably should have removed the door card to inspect first... but hey, it's done now) I have a sickening creaky noise & consequently a deeply scratched window. I removed the door card, rubbers & the rest and inspected the regulator mech to find that the welds have failed at the top of the metal slider (sorry - don't know the techy term for that strip of metal which acts as a guide) causing the glass to brush the metalwork of the regulator- thus the scratches.
So, it's new regualtor & window time I feel. The window glass is not a prob to find but looking on ebay, the choice of regulators is utterly bewildering. Could anyone point me in the direction of the right type of regulator?
Hope someone can help
