hogmaw Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Window going up then a BANG and it stops. Now window is completely open and I can't close it. I can hear the motor working when I press the button so I assume one of the belts has snapped. As I am useless at this stuff myself is it something that most garages would be able to fix? Or is it something that would justify the 60 odd mile drive to Whifbitz and back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Take the door card off and have a look. It isn't difficult to take it off. Couple of screws round the edge, one on the door handle and one in the grip area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 My drivers window winder regulator went tits earlier this year. I took the door card off and found that the motor had chewed up the wound metal bands as it was turning. If the wires snapped, then you'll need a replacement window winder regulator - second hand from Kieron, maybe £40. You need to take the door card off to check - that's pretty easy. To remove the WWR itself, well that can be a bit tricky for your first time. You'll have to take off the speakers and door handle from memory. You'll need to unbolt the WWR grips from the window, then take out the bolts of the WWR itself. There's the motor section in the centre, then there's four sets of bolts holding in the runners on either side of the motor. You will have to take the whole WWR through the large gap in the door skin that's behind the speakers area (from memory). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
