Willie Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Good day all. I attach 3 shots of door end hex headed screws and internally the plates they secure. I am planning ss replacements, but the plate in R door moved as I loosened top screw and I am unsure what those plates are for and proper positioning for them! I have tried to locate the parts in supplier catalogues, but to no avail. I would appreciate any shots and setting-up advice. Wishing you all good health Willie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ransomes256 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 I think the plates you show are part of the window rear guide and are to allow some adjustment of the glass position and free running. Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willie Posted December 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Thanks Neil. Do you have any shots of how the alignment is meant to be? When I loosened the top screw I had my left hand holding the nutarea but it moved, so I am ata loss as to exact position! Dumb of me I know!1 Willie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hi Willie, The guide tends to go where it is comfy. Gently tighten the screws so they may have some give. Operate the window a few times. and then tighten up the screws Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willie Posted December 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Thanks Roger. I'll try to get them looking parallel to the channels then do as you suggest. Best wishes Willie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Its possible the rivets that hold those plates to the window slides have come loose as well. Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

David B2 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Willie, Ref comment by Stuart on rivets. Yes, part of window guides. I have just removed both my guides as part of door refurb. ALL the bracket plates, 3 on each side, were loose on the channel and making glass movement poor. Removed all felt and then tightened up the rivets as best I could but also welded them as well. Lowest setting on the welder as it’s thin material. Proceeded to fit replacement felt in guides (1/8 x 1” from Woolies) as per guidance from Tim T in thread ’Door window channel felt’ not too long ago in tr4 section. Worked well. Thanks Tim.
