Window Cables, Rain Leaks...

["Jeff Wheeler" <j_dubbya@msn.com>]

My first foray into this forum after four days of lurking so excuse me if I'm 
unknowingly redundant, but I gotta know this stuff!

I just got an '82 GL with all the Important and Expensive Stuff in great 
shape, and I'm working my way through the nit-picks (it's my third Scirocco, 
so what are nit-picks to me and, I suspect, you, are Great Reasons to Sell the 
Damn Thing and By the Way What Were You Thinking When You Bought It to my 
fiancee).

Water is coming in around the passenger door gasket, I believe, and it appears 
the door could be made to shut tighter against it (about 4 mm oughta do it), 
but the Bentley manual provides no guidance on how to go about this.  Can 
you/do you move the post or the latch?  This should eliminate that water 
source so I can concentrate on unplugging the blocked drain tube which results 
in the ice-cold tinkle of AC condensate on my feet when hooting around a hard 
right sweeper.

And how 'bout them power windows?  I see that the cable for the driver's side 
has broken, and the prior owner has done a nifty job of wedging the window in 
palce with pieces of particle board and PVC pipe in the door and a chunk of 
ice scraper in the channel.  Any chance of replacing this cable if the motor 
itself isn't shot?  Why is Bentley silent on this too?  The other side just 
needs adjusting; any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for the input; sorry so long-winded.
