Car is finally A1!!! but.....

The father in law has just kindly fixed the drivers window in the F, so all is now as it should be...
Strange thing happened though... brought the new window stop from the local MG repairers a few weeks ago, finally got around to trying to fit it today.

Took the door panels off, and found that the window stop which I fully expected to be broken, to be completely intact...

The thing that the window stop was supposed to go up against however, was nowhere to be seen.. Have now put a nut and in bolt in it's place and tested it and found all to be fine... Anyone else experienced this?

:dunno:

That does sound a bit random! Perhaps a botched DIY job from a previous owner?
