Front window mechanism replacement

Unread post by dave_xsara »

As per the title. Front window mechanism has packed in again.
I've got it all stripped down and the bolts removed from the mechanism, but I can't see how to remove it.

What is the process?


Thanks.

Dave, there was a modification concerning the front door panel / electric window mechanism, which may be why it is proving difficult. Your vehicle RPO is 8802 (14th December 2000), which falls after the mod that affected vehicles from build date 8641 (6th July 2000). So is relevant to you.

Anyway, the modification is in the members resources section here:

Thanks for that. I wonder would that be okay if the train why I'm having to replace the mechanism more often than expected. Been changed about 3 times over last 10 years - is a lot more than I would expect. Teeth going on the motor seem to be the problem.

It's been out a few times but not taken out by means I can't figure how to release the metal arms supporting the glass without snapping anything and causing more damage.

Unfortunately I don't have anything specific on the glass fitting / removal of the windows :(
