ive been having trouble with the rear windows lowering on there own while driving even with rear window lock on,so today i decided to take the door panels of to check the wiring [all 4] not found any wires touching or broke ,the trouble now is how the hell do you get the cable back in the handle ive hadto sit with my harley running to calm me down

Its a basturd , I did it by absolute blind luck, not much help sorry, but I feel your pain. At least you didn't fit a new cable wrongly which pinged off when the door shut and you then had to bend the door card to get the fecker off..

Offer up the door card and make sure the inside handle is pushed in, then insert the black plastic end in and it should clip in,
I know its a pita, but practice makes perfect.

thank you thank you thank you sorted

One of my pals has this problem with his ffrr.. turns out that it's the cable window regulator slipping, and the only fix is a new regulator... and according to my pal it's a rather involved job  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Changing regulator is not as bad as u think miggit. I did it myself and it took a coupla hours but then I am a complete numpty when it comes to things like this. But all good and all working fine.

I just don't understand why the glass has to come out Rave isn't very clear on why, from what I can make out the regulator doesn't come out through the glass opening... so why do they remove it? Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Because of the shape of the rear door (with the rear wheel arch curve) the glass cannot be lowered enough to fully clear the 2 retaining bolts - It covers one of the retaining points of the regulator if left in. You have to remove the glass to be able to get your Allen key/Torx thingy in.

Which bloody sadist designed that one then... it does make me wonder if they deliberately go out of their way to complicate things

Still at least they used bolts.... the regulators on my Merc are riveted in  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!
