Afternoon all,
Not been on here for a while but I need some help with my SL.
It's not been used for a while so I've spent the last couple of days getting battery (rear) charged and giving it a bit of a clean up inside so I can run it to and from work this week - it's about 25 miles round trip so it'll get some use. The main (starter) battery is fine, the car starts and runs as I'd expect it to.
When I parked it up this afternoon I noticed that the passenger side windows are up but not all the way - the way they go when the door is opened. I tried to shut them using the switches on both doors but nothing's happening. I opened and shut the roof a couple of times and all works fine, with the exception of the window on the passenger door (quarterlight window works as normal).
I had a search round the forum and on the internet and found the usual do a reset advice - but the problem is the windows won't move so the reset isn't going to work.
On further investigation I've found that when I open the passenger door from the outside the handle gives very little resistance - I hope you know what I mean by that, the handles are normally very "solid" and clunky, right now it feels like it takes no effort to open the door.
Everything is working fine - central locking, interior lights (including passenger footwell) working as they should, roof up and down no problems. I've had the PSE pump refurbished recently so I'm happy with everything being as it should.
The assumption I've come to is that the passenger door doesn't think it's shut properly and therefore it's not putting the windows all the way up.
Anyone come across this before, and if so do you know what could be causing it?
All answers/advice welcome.
Thanks.
