Guest mozzy21 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 HI I have a 91 j plate escort cabby which had a new mohair roof last year, basically the when it rains me and the missus get soaked lol, if you look closely you can clearly see a gap at top of window where it is not close enough to the rubber seal bit when fully up. it is driving me mad as the missus makes me go in her matiz when it rains which i hate with a passion lol. i have been told there some screws i can adjust to make window raise higher , any ideas greatfully recieved Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 think there the same, mk4 there is a screw that ajusts how high the window sits, tis behind the doorcard, take the card off, you should work out what one it it, you can move it up and down about an inch, altho this is a fix for a mk4 it should be the same for your mk5, sure someone will comfirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mtbelly Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hi, i got the same with mine,but i think it might be the window stops at the top, mine seem cracked a little, does anyone know where i can get these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingergman Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 do you mean the corner triangle black plastic thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Feeble Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 On mine, and a lot of others, even when the windows are at the perfect height, you still had to drop them an inch when you got in the car and put them back up to make sure they sit under the seal ok! And shut the door by the window rather than the door handle when you're locking up to make sure it's under the seal again! Not ideal, but it's the only way most of the time...

Guest mtbelly Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 do you mean the corner triangle black plastic thing? Yeh thats right Gingerman mine seems that they are cracked therefore by raiseing the leccy windows they stop a little higher than they should, then that leaves a gap on the door seal letting in the wet stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
