Posts: 228 Thanks: 6 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Working Window! At last, having purchased the 'B' in July, I've got around to having the (non-working) drivers window fixed. Part from Barchettaparts (thank you) and fitted by a local (non Fiat) garage. Part 100 euros, plus posting, part fitting 51 euros. Fiat in Auch wanted 300 euros plus. Hmm, now tell me why go to a Fiat garage for things like that? ![]() Out for a spin yesterday, roof down, lovely weather, who's a happy bunny then? Why didn't I get one of these years ago...

Posts: 1,163 Thanks: 28 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Working Window! Glad you've sorted the problem. My windows aren't 'one touch'. Didn't know they were supposed to be? I'm not particularly bothered as they work well, although the drivers side can be a bit slow in the cold weather and probably could do with lubrication. Steve

Posts: 4,408 Thanks: 322 Trader Rating: 0 ![]() | Re: Working Window! I have two questions about adjusting the glass if anybody can help. 1) The fully "up" height is adjusted by the two grub screws at the top of the runners. Problem is only the front screw is only just adjustable via the top of the door when the windows is down. The rear screw is hidden underneath the door glass seal (can remember if it is the inner or outer seal that restricts access. I'm assuming one has to partially remove the inner painted door top trim, and possible remove the inner rubber trim to gain full access to screws? Is this correct? 2) The glass 'rake' adjusters. How do they work. I've seen the pictures above about replacing the 'glide blocks' and you can see the grub screws that adjust the glass rake (unless I'm looking at the wrong screws) but from these pictures it is not clear how these screws actually ajust the rake of the glass. In fact how the glass attaches to the runners is not detailed either. I'm guessing when I get in there all will become obvious but any info or advice before then would be appreciated.

Yes you need to remove the painted top section of the door, only a few torx screws if I remember correctly. you will then see the front and rear grub screws to adjust the height. It is better to have the window in the fully open position first. As for adjusting, just have a play with it, again grub screws change the angle and position of the glass. The grub screw for these adjustments are found inside the glass guides.
