Hi, I am new here, although I have read this forum for many years I have never posted before. I have been helping my son with his Freelander 1 tailgate window. I looked though a number of threads but I could not see the same issue.
We had a failure of the bowden cable so we replaced the whole mechanism. I went fairly smoothly but the issue we have is that when we open the door the window goes down per normal but after releasing the handle (with the door open) the glass goes up too far. and pressing the handle again close the door the glass goes down the normal amount, but it is no longer far enough to close the door. If I use the switch inside the car I can move the window down then close the door. (although the rubber seal is dislodged)
The car is a 3 door, and I note that the new mechanism whilst it fits fine that the moving blocks which hold the glass are smaller than the original, and this probably allows the glass to move a up bit further than the original whe the door is open. The part I ordered is CVH101150 I purchased from JGS 4x4.
My working assumption is, that there are no sensors on the movement of the glass, that the motor drives to the mechanical limit whilst monitoring the motor current to determine the travel limits, the learning process simply lets the computer know that the window is likely closed or that you hit an obstruction.
I tried disconnecting the battery and retraining the window, and everything works normally, until I open the door, when the glass again tries to eject itself.
I think either :
I have some issue with the training or
The differences in the glass holding block mean that the mechanical stop is different than before, perhaps the 3 door is a bit different to the 5 door.
The current work around is to open the window on the console switch before opening the door, but if you forget you will regret it!
Anyone seen this issue before, what am I missing
