Once you extract the unit, you will see that it's a poor design. You will have to get the entire mechanism out and re-installed. The rivets need to be drilled out. make sure to replace them with stainless steel rivets. It's not a hard job. Do you know how to remove the inner door panel? You just hate to do it because it shouldn't have had to be done in the first place. Going forward, I put the kiddy control on all the time. No one actuates the rear windows, but me. I'm also very ginger when I roll them up. Once they are fix be careful not to 'push' the window higher than necessary.
Try putting it back in to see if it works... then you will know your answer.Hi Tiger,
That's my problem. I haven't disassembled the door any farther than just removing the panel.
The mechanism is cables and a motor. I don't know (not yet anyway) how all these pieces went together. I'm visualizing a cable arrangement for raising the window and the same unit lowering it. Possibly, the electric motor runs in either direction?
Has anyone actually replaced or removed/reinstalled the motor and/or cabling?
Just looking for some shared wisdom.
Again, thanks in advance to all
