So on my way into work this morning, the drivers window bound, then when I try to roll it down further. POP

It came undone. It then proceeded to fall into the Door.

Another afternoon that I am going to have to figure this out.

passenger window already has issues so fun for me.


PS anybody got any tricks to fixing windows?

They just don't make things that last anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

What your really needing to pay attention too when you get in there is where all the allighnment bolts ect.. ect.. Because if your window was sealing tight before this happened
you do not want to lose that, if you do lose that then its a wack a mole pain to get it right again..

As far as the repair, It will be self evident when you get the panel off.. Might as well fix both sides since you say your having issues with the other one too..

Before you close it all up again, check several times the operation of it, slam your door check again then slam and check agin. check it with door open, check it with door closed.

The reason I say that is I have heard of, and can see it happening. You do all that work, going to the store or work a couple of times and bam wondow drops again..

I have a '74 and your fix can be as simple as one bolt worked itself out

I cringed every time you said SLAM THE DOOR. Why would you ever SLAM THE DOOR? The only people who SLAM THE DOOR are non-teeners who simply don't know any better.

This was not meant as a SLAM, detox; just a general observation/pet peeve, and your fingers got caught. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grouphug.gif)

Sorry man, didn't mean to offend. As long as I've had 914s it has always irritated me when a passenger slams the door when simple pressure gets the job done. I love the solid 'click' I hear when doors or trunk lids are closed gently. It's a tribute to the build quality Porsche put into these cars (had one new also).

Sorry for the hijack.

Kelty360/Marc and I made peace, very cool guy. We agreed that if you can't shut your door hard even a couple times without the window dropping into the door, then it is not fixed.. Joe
