Cyker 388 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 My old 3-door 2003-plate D4D Yaris Mk1 didn't do this, but my 5-door 2004-plate D4D Yaris Mk1 does! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now i finally know what is actually under the front window glass and what the clip looks like and what i need to do. I have been putting this job off for the last couple of months because i didn't feel comfortable taking the door card off without knowing what i needed to do. I understand your fix with the m6 bolts which i could buy. My only question now is how do i get to the clips? Do i just need to remove the door card or do i need to take off the metal panel behind the door card? Do i need to unbolt the whole window out of the regulator and take it out of the door to do this fix? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Take off the door card and reconnect the electric window switch . lower the window and the regulator arms can be seen there is no need the remove the regulator only unbolt the clip of the arm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will try that out after buying some m6 nuts and bolts and finding the right size drill bit. Will probably need to apply the fix to both plastic clips. Will let u know how it goes.
