Bloody Electric Window

[gregers]

and there i was happiliy driving back from bournemouth today and get onto the m27 when i pressed the button to close the window and bang crash wallop the glass decides to twist on itself with something falling into the door itself,so about 100 miles or so with the window stuck half way up,wouldnt move at all,HEY WHAT FUN it is to take the drivers door card off without bending the soding thing in half.

took everything off and found the the hinge side clamp had parted company with the glass and the cable

so ive managed to get the window up and secure for the moment,GUESS WHAT IM DOING TOMMORROW.deep joy. :unsure: :(

 

 

and to top it off the youngest boy decided to throw up in the car aswell,still at least we had plenty of fresh air. :o

 

oh and had a lovely breakfast at the m27 services in the wimpy,NOT,

well all sorted,but the ammount of times needed to adjust the glass so it would work properly seemed endless :unsure: .the metal clamp had come completly off and never having done any repairs in this area before spent quite a few minutes cursing and wondering how the thing went back together and all is working fine again. :( Edited July 25, 2009 by gregers

until yesterday when the bloody thing done exactly the same to the missus,so now with the added confindence i set about doing the neccessaries AND guess what its now the lock side clamp that had come lose,now i tightened them both uplast time to the point of eyes closed thinking glass is going to break.now this was more serious as the wires had come off of the white plastic holder AND AS HAS BEEN POSTED BEFORE IT IS A RIGHT MARE TO GET BACK ON,as everything is under tension and just at the point of losing my temper hey presto it jumped onto the little green wheel at the bottom of the door.

now the problem ive got is there is a grauncing noise everytime the window goes up and down and it feels/seems to be coming from the motor area,wondering if the motor has shed some teeth on the cog???

if so can you repair it?or do you think a new motor is required or the whole regulator and motor?.
