Greetings fellow S-heads...

If the car has sat in the driveway for a few hours, I can go out and get in it and the suspension will come up a little when I sit down (doing the auto leveling I believe) without starting the engine. It'll do the same if I start the engine as well. It's never much, maybe a 1/4 inch or so. Is that normal, or do you think it is indicative of a slow leak? I do not hear the suspension pump running (it's quiet I guess) and can't tell if its trying to burn itself out.

BTW - the problem with I previously mentioned with the drivers side window not wanting to roll up all the way (because of the pinching issue apparently) has seemingly fixed itself. However, I have been parking in a shaded part of the parking garage lately as opposed to the top level and sunlight. I'm wondering if the heat somehow exacerbates the pinching problem? Anyway, thought I'd toss that out to those of you who have had similar problems in the past.

Thanks again all,

Larry

 

Thats a good question actualy.
I never asked myself about it :p

Hope we'll get some MB's pro answer

 

That's certainly possible. The metal channel liner would expand much more than the glass, reducing the clearance. It sounds like the real fix is to have it adjusted/lubricated at your next service.
