Front Window Warping.

[kev.t]

Hi all
after a bit of advice on a problem with the front centre window on my Sterling Europa (dealer special so renamed Belvoir!) When closing the window, the 2 bottom catches engage fully into their fittings, as does the right hand side. However the left hand catch will not pull in far enough to engage,and so the window will not close fully - a huge problem when towing in wet conditions.
Any advice
Kev t

Hello Kev,

The window should fit, so unless there has been any accident damage, it should be fixed under warranty - Look at the following web site to show your statutory rights which apply if you purchased from a dealer.

then if you are confident about using the abve contact your dealer or if you are not sure seek profesional advice.

Have you always had this problem from day 1? The catches can be turned around if i remember correctly

Hi kev,
I had the same problem with my Lunar a few years ago,the window itself was too far to to the left by nearly a 1/4 of an inch the remedy was simple,disconnect the window opening arms,then lift the window as high as you can on its hinge and gently tap across with the heel of your hand.A ten minuite job.

The window lifting is OK of sorts, in so much as some windows have stops on the hinge rail that stops you from moving the windows across
