Malcolm (Television)

[davemercedes]

For the third time in as many days I've just seen an old post with Malcolm's words of wisdom all over it that has been reopened by someone currently seeking information.

They say "gone but not forgotten" - but no, he's still here and what a legacy he left for us all.

 

[ZZZZ]

Yesterday I've done a little trick Malcolm showed me a while ago: to eliminate/reduce the road noise from the top of the door, lower the glass completely, stick a piece of paper between the door and the car, and see if you can pull it out easily, if so, open the door and push the frame in, gently. It's as simple as it is brilliant and effective!

I think of him sometimes when I drive my SL, whether it be in connection with distronic, suspension, servicing, electrics, it's inevitable as he was one of the first to help and advise me all those years ago.

 

[DREAMER NO2]

Yes Malcolm was there for all of us and he still is .

 

[L John]

I think of him every time I'm on this forum.
Just seeing this thread title brought a smile to my face.

Remember with happiness, not sadness.

Malcolm certainly made a huge impacted on us all, always.......

Indeed.
We always said we'd take him to France with us one day but it was not to be. Taking his SL there was the next best thing and it was great ' to have him there' when Rose and I got engaged - something I know he would have liked.

I always think of him when I come onto this forum too, hard not to, such a special person.

 

[shirubaby]

Malcolm had a mind full of information . We all had information at some time or other .Even those of us that thought we knew all about or cars but in the end knew very little. Malcolm could always add to to it . But Malcolm did leave a lot of information on the forum for us if it was needed .

And he left me his files which I have on a Dropbox to continue sharing out.

Yes, he was always there when you needed him. A great guy.

But to clarify my dull brain: when you say stick a piece of paper between the door and the car, what bit of the door and what bit of the car exactly?! I'm thinking you mean 'raise the window and if you can pull out the paper from the closed glass, then pull the frame in. But then I'm not sure you meant that at all! Sorry but I'm just thick today - or most days actually...

If you have doors with frames then it's as GLK says. You're looking for a gap Inthe door seal.

I wouldn’t do it with frameless doors...

Frameless doors you need to adjust the glass....
