...whilst you need to remember that, although I don't think I've
mentioned this before on the group, that I've got over 30 odd
years experience repairing cars with 20 of those been involved in
all aspects of the car body/crash repair. :~)
: If you consider that when the motor forces a curved window up
against the
: top of the door, it will also force the centre of the door
outwards. Combine
: that with when the door is shut, the door catch will pull the
center of the
: door inwards, and you could end up with enough flex so the shut
position is
: just that little bit beyond reach, and trigger the anti-trap.
Very few cars, one can them on one hand, have door catches that
retrain the upper part (drop-glass frame) of the door, if the
drop-glass motor is going to apply a force (via the glass) to the
upper door frame and cause deflection it's going to do it if the
door is open
*or* closed - no flexible rubber door seal is going
to stop it! It's just that it's less noticeable when the door is
shut.

of when

Was this regarding the theory of the mechanism, if so I do accept
that it can be an issue but as I said before, it will be a sign
that there is something else wrong, if the drop-glass will not
close correctly with the door open it's likely that the door
shell/window frame is way out of alignment which needs correcting
*first* before any re-programming of the limit and anti-stall
electronics.
