Electric window motor and cable replacement

From THE Corrado Forum Knowledge Base

Drill out 3 rivets for the moter, 4 on the arm, pull the 2 lugs out of the plastic wheels on the bottom of the window.

with the window up you can see 2 10mm bolts through the round holes in your pic that hold it to the window, undo these

to get the old one out and the new one in you need to put it in sideway and just wiggle/force/ lie on the floor swearing ... etc

Well job is done. Took me an hour. All in all very pleased. mechanisam went in a doddle really. I just need one more rivet for the top. My rivets were a bit shallow so get a pack of long ones for that. So elecy window I have again.

Motor mountrs need clearing out of rivet body. Easily done. Place mount in vice and use a drill to spin the rubber washer of. Drop out rivet and use super glue to rebond. Cheers Carpy.

Mounts seperated

Once clear and rebonded they should look like this.

New mechanisam being offered up.

Mechanisam slipping into place. Slide all way to far end. Tilt and slide up. Making sure top armature is inside the window glass. ie closer to you and not behind glass.

Pop the window arms in place. I just popped the glass rollers of the old mechanisam and then removed them from the runners. Replace these with your rollers from your new mechanisam. They may be worn to suit your new mechanisam. Don't want em popping off when you have all the door back together.

Once all is in place. Hook central rod onto the clips in the door panel and pop rivet back into place. Do the motor last. Now lift the window and replace the two 10mm bolts that actually attach to the window. Connect button and admire handywork.

Job done. Took me about and Hr to refit mech.
