Window Problem - '90 200

[Jim Haseltine]

Probably not connected, but my 83 CGT had a drivers window (RHF - UK model)
that won't move if the door was hot. If the day was cold or wet or overcast
or I'd parked the car in the shade then it worked fine - if the door was in
bright sunlight for more than a few minutes then the window wouldn't work.

I don't care any longer - its a parts car now.

Regards,

Jim Haseltine
