The Electrics, Dashboard and Heater 9 Electric windows
20 Citroen XM Internet Reference Version 1.0

I had the same problem. It turned out to be the clip which holds the window in the channel. This is quite
common apparently, and kits for repair including new clips are available. I let my local Citroen wizard do
it, as I tried it and rapidly lost patience with it.

**** We are also interested in a better solution.
We can offer only the complete assembly. That’s the only part the Citroen distributor has available. No
separate motor, no nylon pieces....
At least in the Netherlands.

Electric window not winding
When I bought my XM the passenger side rear window wasn’t operating. I had to replace the two plastic
clips that attach to the glass. I bought these from my local Citroen dealer.
Here’s what I did to replace them, once I had removed the interior door panel:
To replace the plastic central window guide, which fixes onto the bottom of the window, undo the three
bolts holding the winder motor and remove the motor, cables and guide rail assembly. To fix the white
plastic guide clip to the vertical slide rail, first soak it in boiling water for ten minutes then snap it onto the
rail by force.
To fit only the top, side guide clip, unclip the centre bottom guide from the glass and lower the glass
down. Fix on the new side clip and raise the glass and guide into the correct position before reattaching
centre clip.
I hope this helps. It isn’t a hard job. Really I should have tackled it less than a year after I bought the
car! Rather than waiting so long!
Yours ,

One-touch window switches
Yes the switches do plug straight in but that doesn’t have the desired effect - What we call "one shot"
switches in the UK. You also need the relay pack - which has a small wiring loom which replaces some
of the wiring in the door. I upgraded mine (88 GTi) with that from a scrapped GTi Turbo.
For the bulbs you can get them from model shops as the same ones are used in Scalextric cars.
Front door trim
Does anybody know how to remove the interanl front passenger door trim? The electric window
mechanism is getting rather slow closing, so I thought I’d lubricate it before it gets stuck open!
