Polo window jams.

My Polo 6n driver's side manual window tilts forward when I wind it up, and needs to be tilted back by hand to close properly. I have encountered this before on a Golf, but I can't remember what the cure is. Door card off first, I suppose...what then? Thanks.

I'd try a good bit of WD40 on the window winder mechanisms.
Hopefully that will help free it up..

Thanks for the suggestion, the wind up mechanism seems free enough once I hold the window straight by hand. It feels like the glass is only held at one end by the lifter.

Your gonna have to check it out futher, some part could be rusted
or seized causing it to stick some where, or a maybe popped out of
a rubber holder.

The glass is in a rubber holder, eh? Thanks, that's something to go on. I'm just not keen to get involved with the membrane glued on with black gunk, if it's like my old Mk2 Golf. Still, it would be great if I could fix it by adjusting some thing.

Check the glass is properly seated between the metal guides in the door frame.
