Herald window mechanism tie rod

Recommended Posts

I've had a lot of trouble with the alignment of the vertical glass runners and even though I have replaced the them, the glass has jumped out of the runners on a few occasions. I've discovered 2 tie rods that I had  omitted to fit when re-assembling the doors. They are part no 704763 and resemble something made from a coat hangar with a clip halfway along and a loop at one end). I have studied a drawing on Canley of the door components but it's been years since I first dismantled the doors and I cannot remember or fathom exactly how or where this tie rod is supposed to attach to anything. Please can someone help as I am getting fed up with dismantling the door!

I've worked it out, and I have to say what a poor piece of engineering it is IMO. The loop end goes under the lower bracket screw for the front runner and the other end just hooks around the rear runner in order to 'stabilise' it. Why didnt they make 'proper' runner supporting brackets in the first place? Oh well, at least the glass shouldnt fall out any more.
