Re: Spider power window problems
Windows, windows!! So many problems with windows, you would think Alfas
were designed by Microsoft! This time it was Glenn Wasserman who asked:

In repairing mine (see my post from a few days ago), I had the same alignment
problem with the left window. It went up and down great, but would wobble as
it traveled (especially up), and then cluck at one end or the other. The
cables were loose -- very loose. Adjusted those and tweaked the alignment of
the window tracks, and now it glides perfectly.
About your door lever... might be interference from an out of alignment
window track. Or maybe just needs a shot of WD-40 up inside.
As much as you fear opening up your door panels, I think you should resign
yourself to it. Seems as if the problems lurk inside.
Good luck.
