Subject: Re: Failing Electric Windows


Yeah. I bet it's rusty or gummed up. Take off the armrest and pop the plastic behind the handle off. Unscrew the doorlockbuttontop (heh heh) and use a screwdriver to GENTLY pop the door panel off by using it it as a pry. When the door panel is loose, lift it up over the doorlock rod. Up and off. Remove the sound deadening material. Look in the door & see the motor. Rusty? Try tapping on it... maybe it will run once more - just to get the window up. If the whole motor is jammed & won't run.... disconnect the wires to the motor. remove the motor from the window regulator thereby disengaging the gears. **you might have to remove the bolts holding the regulator to the door in order to get at the motor mount bolts... I can't recall. And........you might have to remove the 2 screws that hold the glass into the regulator. But if it's down, it might be hard to access the screws. After the gear is disengaged, lift or push the window up. Grab it in both hands. One on the inside & one on the outside while the door is open. You know.... like you're praying. heh heh You might be able to lift the window like that.... up into the closed position. Stick a wedge in it to hold it up if it's loose or wedge it up & stick the motor back in temporarily just to jam the gear of the regulator. So the window is up, hopefully. New regulators & motors gotta be about $250 per window. Used ones are crummy & rusty too. I replaced mine with manual regulators with a handle for $35 a side - used. Easy to do. Fits right in. all ya really gotta do is drill a hole for the handle.
