406 COUPE DRIVERS WINDOW WON'T SHUT COMPLETELY

Post by miken406 »

Hi,

My 406 Coupe will not shut the drivers window completely, juddering and not closing up the last half inch or so.

I'm told by my garage I need a new window regulator (£200 + fitting).

Can someone help with this please?

Thank you.

Mike

They might well be right. (about the fault, not the stupid price you've been quoted).

If you're reasonably handy with tools, this can be sorted relatively easily. Get a used, but good regulator from Adrian Bingham who is a trusted source of used parts.....he goes by the name of 'ade1122' over on the Coupe forum ( http://www.406coupeclub.org ), where you will also find a useful 'How-To'.

Also, if you put your location up, there might be someone local willing to help out.

Your regulator teeth might look like this......
