    Just bought myself a Leon Cupra 290, but I just feel like something is off with the pedals.

    Stiff window winder/mecanism

    My drivers side window goes down smoothly, but three quarters of the way up it becomes solid and is near impossible to close. It requires so much force that I'm scared the winder or the internal mecanism will break. I popped the door panels off to have a look and couldn't see anything a miss...
