That sticky window... THE FINAL WORD - Ricky Boy
Man from Autoglass, he say "rear window glass not broken ? it's your mechanism sport"!

Tiny clip (?) somewhere in the operating mechanism has broken rendering the whole thing useless. Trip to Skoda dealer the answer unless anyone knows different...

An interesting afternoon was had nevertheless as I also asked Autoglass if they minded attending to a small stone chip in my windscreen at the same time. No problem they said, free security-etching too I asked? Consider it sorted!

Two hours later, after a glorious bike ride in the balmy sunshine, I return. Windscreen crack is now about four inches wide, "it's the pressure of the process you see ? sometimes they crack, sometimes they don't. We'll probably have one by Wednesday evening. Call you first thing Thursday".

Some you win, some you...

Double arsebiscuits!
