you do know that there is adjustment on the winder mechanisms to get the glass to run parallel in the frame. Also you need to install the screw in the winder arm each time or you will knacker the winders. I had a wonderful time with mine when rebuilding. Make sure also that the pivots are in good order and that the helper springs are in the right way around, (helping lift the windows).

Keep going you will get there

You are not missing anything from the description. Its one of the jobs that I hated most. Adjustment is on the areas that join the two arms to the bit that slots into the window slider mech. PM me an email address and I will send you the section of the factory manual which details the widow adjustment.

Sean

Pm sent all being well

And received

Pages on their way if you need a hand let me know.
