The glass is bolted on to the mechanism via 2 plastic brackets which are bonded onto the glass - it may be that one of the brackets has come unstuck and as a result the glass will tilt when trying to put the window up and as soon as it feels resistence it will stop.

Panel is easy to remove - 2 screws in grab handle, couple down the sides, couple underneath, and there should be 1 behind a plastic cap on the door release handle.

for some reason he cant get the grab handle screws out

cant get plastic cover off to get to the screws................out there struggling with it now

[Bailey73]

I had the call centre phone me last night as a technician needed help in doing a job - They said to me " The technician has finished fitting a doorglass but still has some screws left over, where do they go?". What a fantastic question - my response was "you must be taking the p**s, how the f******hell would I know - tell him to start over again".

That was a serious question raised by my call centre.

[edmondo]

that really gives me confidence in auto windscreens

Have a look underneath or to the side of the grab handle - there should be a small hole, pop a small screwdriver in and you should be able to push the cover off from inside.
