Corolla KE30 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 So last night, I was driving home and I wanted to put the window down, then, it fell down and now I am unable to get it out. Any recommendations for what to do; can I do it myself repair? Been looking for a Gregory's manual for KE30 Corolla's but no luck. Any help would be great.

Corolla KE30 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Take off door lining, attach back onto winder mechanism. I've nearly taken off the door trim, but I just can't get the window winder off. How would you go about doing that? I'm trying the good ol rag trick, but I don't think it's working. Will keep trying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLD 10S Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Taking off my window winder, it had a metal clip in a U shape on the inside, that I had wedge off with a screwdriver and some foul language. My dad made easy work of it though haha Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a trick to it at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Theres a U channel thats glued to the glass. The tab on the bottom of the channel attaches to the window regulator with 2 6mm (10mm head bolts). Just be careful as the tab on the bottom of the channel also sits in a couple of hooks on the window regulator. When its sitting in the hooks, the holes will line up and you shouldn't have any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.L.Z.BUB Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Silicone/glue them on, in the same place though. About 40mm of the windows aren't seen at the bottom so be generous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbr11k Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 mmm i might have to give it a go .. maybe epoxy or something? i tried putting it back on 5 times already and it just keeps popping off.. tried playing around with the regulator but it wont have a bar of it.

Taz_Rx Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm now a pro at putting those rails back on. :lolcry: :wink: Push the rubber bit over the glass, then use a hammer to tap the rail onto the rubber. Don't be scared with the hammer as it takes a bit of force to get it back on properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 i usually (yes it happends often) spread the metal bit open with a pair of pliers, put glass inside with rubber bit, put whole thing in vice..and squeeze it. then it will probably fall off again about 1 week later. silicon is the way to go!
