Hey, I've got a few problems I need to sort, they are

1. door and rear quarter glass needs adjusted as there are gaps between the seals and needs aligned
2. problem with wipers- fast speed works fine but on slow they sometimes jam and when the stop they stop half way up the screen
3. high beam light on dash not working


The windows probably just need to mess with the bolts to line them up, the other ones any ideas on what to check for the wipers?

my high beams were just the switch...does it click when pressed in/out

Yeah the high beams work when I press the switch on the floor, just the light on the dash dosent work, hopefully its just a bulb,

Also when I'm turning the front tyres scrub on the outside of the tyres, I'd that because its low or is that the wheel geometry out?

Probably because its low,but what size are the tyres and which wheels have you got? I've put some spring spacers in mine because it did the same thing, primitive but it works, the light is probably the bulb, the windows are adjustable but mark them first as you may make things worse and when you make an justment either close the door with the window down a little or close it gently because the glass may hit the body work

wipers may be the motor is getting worn out or the posts that the arms mount on are seized and making it to tight to move.

or the switch or connections may be dirty, may get warm when working which will tell you if the switch/connection is at fault

Sorted the light it was just a loose bulb, the front wheels are american racing torque thrust 2, tyre size 215/40/17, it loos like the drivers side has more wear than the other, it has qa1 shocks.

The wipers are weird, fast speed works fine but on slow they stop and sometimes when I go to turn them off they keep going :s

Sounds like dodgy switch/connections....

Yep - i have the same with mine. A gentle touch will give you any combination of slow/ fast / delay depending on what mood it's in. It's a dodgy switch box. If you take it apart, it's a slide switch with multiple contacts that are flexible. If you imagine that all the contacts on the slider are the same as the contact plate underneath, it's just a gap separating them, the contact plate is able to make contact because at certain points the contact point is bent upwards. Hope that makes sense The contacts on mine were pushed quite far in so the switch wasn't making contact, so thought it was a bad motor, which i then replaced, still didn't work. So i took the switch apart and rebent the contacts so they stuck out further. Now everything was working, all the time. I then took it apart again and debent them a bit and it's at a sort of happy medium now. Triggers way too easily but at least the operations are correct based on the markings on the switch.
