Hi all, not sure if this is the right area to post this, but the ST part of the forum is DEAD!

I picked my car up at about 2pm today, and on the drive home the window sill (up the door edge) flew off! Gutted is an understatement. Went and got a new one and decided to drive home before fitting the new one (needed pliers for the old bits still left in), on the journey home, at about 45-50mph, the other one broke away! Now I'm a little peed off and decided to ring the salesman who has told me to drop by tomorrow to pick up a new one

I've had the car 5 mins and I have already had hassle. The part guy even told me that its a common problem!

Has anyone else had this, and what have you done to cure it?

Thanks in advance, Jay.

 

Yeah more common than getting a drippy cock from a tiawanese whore I'm afraid.

Had to buy 3 or 4 for my mrs's mk6 fiesta since we've had it! This time I've run some araldite along the bottom edge where it seals against the rubber and touch wood, not lost any more since!

 

I'm fucking annoyed about it to be honest. It's put me off driving anywhere that has a 40+ speed limit. Which side did you run the araldite down?

Will pm you about it just in case you don't see this message.

Edit : just re-read your post, I think i'll do the same with the araldite there. I was debating where I could put it without damaging something else if it happened again.

 

Not a great start to ST ownership mate. What colour etc as you're in my neck of the woods but I've not seen your Fes about.

 

Yea it should be fine, open the window and put some tape round it or some zip ties or something to hold it tight while the glue dries, hopefully it won't happen again!

 

It's blue with stripes on the side, only picked it up today!!

I'm right on the edge of HERTS, right next to stansted airport.

 

Cool, thanks for the tips, I'll be giving that a go later!
