2009 C5 - window opening mechanism not working

Post by spako »

I have noticed that the passenger window is having problems going down and back up.

I took a look on this site and with the excellent help of previous posts I have got the door panel off and seen that it has the common problem of the cables rusting through and one of them has dropped out.

I found this repair kit on ebay but I'm not sure how difficult it is to get it replaced:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... AQ:GB:1123" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

What is the sequence for replacing the wires? Can it be done with the regulator, frame and window in place or do they have to come out? Is there an easy way to do that? How do they fit on the drum?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

When I bought one of those kits for a friends Freelander (It seems to be the same seller) he sent a link to a youtube video of them being fitted, not a bad job actually.
