window playing up
« on: 29 September 2010, 18:51 »
drivers side window is playing up- doesnt close fully close just goes up and down on its own. when i open my door card i noticed a yellow plastic thing had come off (dont know what it its).  Just need someone to confirm if its a motor before i buy or is it something else?.


cheers

First guess would be regulator going by the symptoms you've described. Much cheaper than a new motor

Mine had the same thing. It's the cables on the regulator breaking. Need to buy a new regulator. If I were you I'd buy the motor too as changing it over is a pain in the backside I think, I wouldn't know as every time it's needed replacing I just bought the regulator and motor together. Expect to pay between £20 and £40 for it through ebay/forum.

euro car parts sell window reg for around £35 and i cant seem to find it cheaper anywhere else.
