Title: How the hell do you work on an electric window?
Post by: Philpy on 10 September 2008, 10:05

My passenger side motor needs replacing.... If you hit it with a hammer it works for a few seconds. I have sprayed WD40 everywhere I can, but no different.
At first I thought I'll replace the motor, but you cant seem to remove it from the rest of the mechanism. It comes about 10mm out and then stops.
So I thought I would replace the whole lot, mech and all, but there doesnt seem to be enough room to get it out!
Please Help!  :cry:

As long as you unbolt it all it will come out.  You will probably have to change it completely, the same thing happened to mine as it was fooked, so I have a keep-fit window on the drivers side now  :laugh:

once fully unbolted you can squish the cables enough to remove the regulator, dont forget to take the glass off it first or you wont get far!
