do you mean it's not indexing? if so, mine was that way and it needed a internal door switch....which of course was under warranty and they replaced...
sounds like it just needs an alignment then. thank you!Sounds like the window alignment needs alignment. From the Service Notes:
Door glass adjustment
To provide optimum weather sealing, several adjustments are available to position the glass correctly, with sufficient weatherstrip seal loading.
Glass top edge alignment: When fully raised, the glass top edge needs to be aligned to the roof and cant rail seal. If adjustment is required, the door trim panel and membrane must first be removed for access (see subsection VE.2). The glass is secured to the carriage plate by two rubber lined clamps; release the two clamp nuts, re-position the glass as necessary and re-tighten.
Glass height adjustment: An adjustable upstop buffer screw is mouted on the carriage plate, which abuts against a flange at the top of the window lift channel to limit upward travel of the glass. Complete but light contact between the fully raised glass and cant rail seal is required.
Glass inward tilt: The inward tilt of the glass may be adjusted by screw theaded anchorages for the bottom ends of the two guide rails. These are accessible with the trim panel fitted. Light contact with the weatherstrip seals is required.
Will do! Planning on trying to tackle it this weekend.PLEASE post photos of your adventure into the door - A DIY or simple write up with a few pics would help us all.
What year is your Evora? There have been multiple reports from 2011 having window issues. You will read about faulty latch switches (no indexing), window motor replacements, faulty wiring contacts, and command module replacements.Will do! Planning on trying to tackle it this weekend.
Mines a 2010 model with just over 10,000 miles. Me and my mechanic buddy tore apart my door last night and he says it's my window regulator/regulator motor. All the window tracking was tight. Is there a recall on this? I don't know if I have any warranty left on my car. I'm also 4 hours away from the closest dealer. Also last night he noticed that my throw out bearing is making quite a bit of noise and he's worried it might be going out. It rattles real bad when it's Idling in neutral, but when the clutch is in the rattle goes away. Do you guys think either of these problems would be covered if I don't have a warranty? My buddy can do the work at his shop, but didn't know what the cost of parts would be. I'm very new to lotus cars and to the forums but I did think I heard on here that the clutch is a bitch and is a lot of labor to replace.What year is your Evora?

I have heard little success with the 3 second hold solution.
For those of you with window issues, what year model do you own?
I had the issue, the window stopped indexing, I rolled it down, and it never came back up. The eventual solution was to replace the motor.

If the rattle goes away with the clutch depressed, it does NOT sound like a throw out bearing.Mines a 2010 model with just over 10,000 miles. ...

Yes - please post a DIY including removing the panel to get to the door latches. :bow:It was stated in the manual that window adjustments are not covered by the warranty.
So a DIY guide is in order... I've made these adjustments before on my car. Anyway it's about time I do another one since my passenger window had gotten out of alignment one again. Owning this car you'll realize the majority of issues will be niggles like this.
please I would love to see how you adjust yours I didn't see anything that looked like it could adjust my window, that's why we thought it was the window regulator. my window on the drivers side that's out of alignment can be moved back and forth with your hands the other side is tight. Something seems loose but I didn't see any of the tracks in the door that seemed loose.It was stated in the manual that window adjustments are not covered by the warranty.

What do you think the rattle is then? you can only hear it when the cars idling in neutral, then instantly goes away when you depress the clutch. My car definitely makes a rattle when you start out slow.... what type of gear oil is most recommended for the evora?If the rattle goes away with the clutch depressed, it does NOT sound like a throw out bearing.
It might just be the gear rattle that many have noticed when taking off slowly in 1st gear. Try changing the gear oil, to one of those recommended on this forum.
