I have been working to improve the operation of my Renault R17 electric windows. A plastic and metal sprocket had split and was broken in the regulator of the passenger's side. I had the sprocket 3D printed in plastic, fitted it, silicone sprayed the window channel, adjusted the channel and the window now works fine.
However the driver's side window is a different story. It had a brass sprocket which I used as the model for the 3d printed item for the passenger's regulator. The window goes down, and climbs up, shuddering as it goes and stops about two and a half centimetres (an inch) from the top. I have adjusted the plastic fitting shaped like a seven at door latch end of the glass so there is the regulation 5mm between it and the runners for the regulator at the bottom of the glass. I have also tried to adjust the window channels from the nuts/screws at the bottom of the door, but so far to no avail.
Has anyone had a similar problem and if so, how did you fix it? How do you tell ( apart from the window working fine) that you have the channels in the correct position?
Thanks
