Window motor

Gambit · 6th December 2009, 05:47 PM

My window is slow going up and down and makes funny noises, the other day I wound it down and it stuck part way for a second and sounded like the window was going to explode.
Can these be overhauled?

It's most likely not the motor, it's probably the regulator or the cable. You need to take the door card off and have a look.

regulator is what I call the motor.

Well if you take a look and it's not repairable then let me know which side it is as I have a spare motor and mechanism in the loft, but not sure which side I have.

Missed that Martin, cheers.

If I take the reulator off to examine will the window drop?

Martin F · 9th December 2009, 10:35 PM

I honestly don't know.

It's nearly the end of the year !

apart from the window motor the rest of the car is pretty much the way I want it, I've had it resprayed down both sides getting rid of the door bump strips and matching the paint, the ic is now working and drives well and I have glass lamps and no yellow.
Just the motor and an annoying rattle from the boot to sort and I honestly can't think of anything else I want to do......

Hopefully I'll give it a wash tomorrow and slap some pictures up.

I'm having this exact same problem except mine won't move up or down now and its about 1cm from the top! Makes a horrible churning noise.

Did you solve the problem?
