Karr-Man 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 have u tried closing it using the "full-closure" system, my drivers window is tempremental when operated by the switch but always closes using the full closure system (pretty sure my loom is disintegrating) Link to post Share on other sites

crish72 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I've had the doorcards off but just cant see why it's not working... The motor pulls it down ok but struggles to push it back up - the cable is there and tries but its as though something has 'come off' (the rubber suction thing i found? )...The main switch operates fine so it's not that.Defo somethign to do with the mechanism.. but until i see what it should be like i cant compare...Cheers so farChris Link to post Share on other sites
Samson 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 give me a couple of mins matey, just uploading them now. Your problem is a broken piece of plastic the sits snuggly around a metal nut situated on the steal cable, one side usually breaks off hence the motor winding it down but not up as when you try to wind it back up the nut pushes straight past the bracket hence the window does not go up but leaving it free to be slid straight up by hand Link to post Share on other sites

Samson 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Ok here goesThe window mech in place in the door, the part that usually breaks has been circledThe area circled is the window winder mechanism with the window actually in the holder as it should be.This next image is of the two parts that make up the window winder mechanism, apart from the motor.The part on the left flips over and locates on the rail, I have circled the two parts that interlock, the bracket (that usually breaks) and the nut on the steel cable/wire.This last pic is of the actual part that breaks but close up.Hope this helps, if you need more pics let me know, I have a couple more.

crish72 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Great stuff - i'll have another look this week.In your 1st photo - the motor and window mchanism look easier to access than i recall - is there another panel/trim part that bolts off?Also, How much of a job is it to get all that removed?Thanks for your helpChris Link to post Share on other sites
bigjak 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Alright then, how about this one, a window that can be made to go up and down from the switch on the dash but the door switch just makes something inside click? I have tried the switch from the other side that I know works but the window doesn't want to move???Thanks,JAK.. Link to post Share on other sites

Once loose just lift the whole mechanism up about half an inch and push it back towards the outside of the door and it will free itself from the door. This is the tricky point... you need to twist it anti-clockwise about 90 degrees and remove the bottom part of the mechanism first then pull the whole thing out.Here comes the Haynes Manual part... the assembly is the exact reverse of the removal...
