    Hi,

    I'm an american living in Iceland who is very happy with his peugeot
    ownership experience thus far. I hope at some point they make their
    way back to the US.

    Anyway, the other day I was driving with the driver's side window
    open, the passenger behind me then complained that they were cold and
    I quickly started to roll the window up. I used too much force and
    now the roller continues to rotate, but it appears to be disconnected
    from the internal mechanism. Thankfully, considering the coming
    Icelandic winter, the window is stuck in the up position rather then
    all the way down, but still I'd like to have the luxury of being able
    to open it once again.

    I've ordered the manuals, but I haven't yet taken off the door panel.
    I'm pretty new at this but I'm confident that I should be able to
    figure it out, but I wanted to get some suggestions and find out what
    parts I will need and how involved a job it will be to get the window
    moving again. Thanks in advance.

    Also two quick questions, does anyone know what size tires came stock
    on this model?

    Second, my rear window defroster only partially works, only several of
    the wires embedded in the glass seem to be heating up. Anyone have
    any suggestions related to that? I've come across threads discussing
    the defroster completely not functioning, but haven't seen any
    concerning it partially.

    Thanks again.
