Annoying little problem

My drivers side window today decided that when i put it back up it it would just go back down by itself as soon as it hits the top....very annoying

it stays up when i use the key when locking the car just not whilst driving

any ideas??

Thanks

Re: brakes upgrade

haha in all honesty i more than likely will just put normal brakes back on, new brakes will be an improvement either way i suppose haha

Re: brakes upgrade

the brakes i`ve got at the minute are completely standard, im not sure what size they are...

and ive got 17s on.

my original thought was TT brakes? not sure if this is feasible though?

brakes upgrade

im due for some new discs and pads all round and was just wondering if instead of just putting standard brakes on if their was any other options available to me.

im not really looking for big aftermarket breaks or anything like that, just something from another vag or something


cheers B)
