Electric window malady

Recommended Posts

I have a problem! Passenger side electric window is stuck halfway down. Was working fine earlier, then tried to raise it-no joy. It clicks when you press either switch but no action. I'm guessing its the motor?

Just found this in the bottom of the door, could this be the problem?

They are old door "strikers" Dave16v's kit replaces them !

It's most likely one of the cables have broke,you really should investigate a little further,motor and cables come as one unit !

Crud, does that mean drilling out the rivets etc? Not sure I can get to all the attachments as it's halfway down :(

open the door (I mean remove card/film etc) and whack the motor while trying to operate, it might just be tired and stalled

Random thought, could there be a fuse issue? Is there a seperate one for each window or one that controls both?

If you can get an Allen key onto the motor casing bolts holding it to the regulator try loosening them and re-tightening, that freed one of mine off, it's a sign of a tired motor and worn regulator though.

Right, got the angle grinder on the rivets and got all 7 out, took off the 2 bolts holding the glass to the mechanism but now I can't remove the mechanism! I can move the glass but the mechanism is being a stubborn piece of arse! Am I missing a really obvious attachment somewhere?

Finally got it out, yay! Motor seems to be working ok but the rest of it is kaput-the wires have had it and the little green clip has had it. Im guessing the rest is the regulator? Was this a Corrado only part or shared with mk2 golf/passat?
