Ive seen quite a few like it. I wouldn't say mine was.much worse. For the price of them I may as well change them.

Thanks Magnet, I genuinely felt the photo explained my point. I also didn't have a tape at that point so wanted to give context to my question. I will get onto it. Along with my the driver's window when opened only drops 2-3mm not the full say 10mm

Rear both sides 645mm Os front 660mm Ns front 655mm

Ok I'll get measurements.

I can send a photo. I've seen a few like it on my travels. I just wondered if I got the springs replaced if it would add a bit of height.

Ah right 2 years + pretty much always been like it although it does seem to feel a bit worse IMO

Hi All, I suspect this is a simple answer but wondered has anybody else changed the rear springs on their convertible? I ask as I notice that mine sits lower at the rear albeit level. Now I appreciate it has all the weight of the mechanism for the roof in the rear. Is this just a case of the springs being old.? They aren't fractured as I've checked. Any help/experience would be appreciated Thankyou

To clarify it's been on the car 18months now

The window regulator cable had broken so more for the standard reason to replace if you see what I mean. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced a similar issue with too small a drop

I wonder if there is a worm gear that could be worn in motor unit?

MMmmm no euro car parts. I can't decide if the switch in the door handle is faulty and not passing enough current maybe. The pulley cable has stretched or the motor/ teeth have worn?

Hi All, My A4 cab has developed and issue. When you open the driver's door the window barely drops now. It used to drop a good 5-7mm to clear the fabric roof. The passengers side is fine. There are intermittent times where the glass doesn't drop at all. There doesn't seem to be too much info on this and wondered if anyone has had the same issue. Would it be the switch in the door handle, the motor or the window regulator.? I did change the regulator 18 months ago and that was fine till very recently. I've seen lots of not dropping or not going up or down but the window opening and closing is fine Thanks Maz

Hi All, Something that's been bugging me for a while. Would I be right in saying that there are potentially 2 bumper types for a b7 sline cab. 1) has the black inserts and a slight lip at the base of the bumper 2) one has a more rounded bumper that has colour coded rail along the centre where the fog lights sit.? Many Thanks Maz

Right ok - touchwood I've fixed it. Hopefully this may help somebody else. I wasn't prepared to give up and so removed the light again. This time I really looked closely at the seals and was convinced the lense was sealed to the bulb unit. So after further inspection on the rear of the unit I noted some tiny hair line fractures almost went unnoticed. The rear plastic moulding of the light must get brittle. It wasn't just in one place. So I glue gunned all the cracks 3 in total and touchwood the lamp after some reasonable rain hasn't beaded on the inside. Thanks Maz
