Hi guys ive recently fitted two new doors to the rear of my Saloon but the Driverside Rear Window doesent run very true when doing-up it gets halfway and gives up and then comes  back down again is there any solution to it if i push on the metal runner it will go up but still slow is it worth me swapping all of the electric gubbins over from the old door into the new one?

There's adjustment at both ends of the regulator assembly and also on the window runners and where the glass attatches to the regulator

Ideally, the regulator needs to be positioned exactly where it was in the old door...

Also liberally apply a silicone based lubricant to the window rubbers

So how do I go about adjusting the regulators?

Missread your post I take it the regulators are the original ones thast are still rivetted to the door.

The rear channel is bolted in place and can be tweaked. Also have a read of the Haynes manual, chapter 11, pages 14-16.

Read between the lines and you should be able sort them out

Don't forget the silicon based lubricant on the rubbers. Motor can be carefully dismantled as well to ensure it is running freely.

Silicon lube. Or Ptfe spray.
