Right Rear Window

[erg153]

Any tips for getting it back on it's track w/o taking it all apart? As of now it will go all the way down just fine but comes up only 99% of the way...Leaving about 1/8 inch gap. I can clearly see that it is off it's track.

Thanks in advance.

The regulator is broken. There's a plastic piece on the regulator that is notorious for snapping, and when it does, that is the result... the window won't go up all the way. It's not off track. You'll have to replace the regulator. Fortunately, the regulator/motor assembly isn't all that expensive (check out rockauto.com... there's a 5% discount code in the Beginner Off Topic section for them as well.) It's also very easy to replace. In fact, that was the very first thing I ever did on my car!

Thanks Deeve. I'll check the Haynes manual for disassemble/reassemble instructions.

Sorry one more question. Can you confirm this is the correct part I need?

If that description matches what you have, then yes, that should be correct.

Honestly, you really don't need a manual to take it all apart. It's quite simple to do. Just look at it, and think about your next step before you turn a wrench. The only thing that you'll need to be aware of is keeping the window from crashing down when you unbolt it.

Good question! I'm glad I found this! I will probably do my windows next since only the driver's side works and it's too hot in GA! I have the same problem with my back passenger window but I can atleast pull it up by hand when it rains. The other 2 windows will not go down at all. I think they are off track.

damn...same problem... rear driver's dside...

the motor is completely dead...i can push the window about half way down before it stops... i can also only bring it up to about 1 inch from closure bt stops again...

i don't have the motor right now...in the meantime, could i just take off the door panel, losen the bolts and move the window in the completey closed position? just have to make sure to lock all the windows so nobody touches it!

my driver's window has been stuttering when going up or down for about a year now and sometimes stops, then i gotta bring it back down and try raising it fast to build momentum or even push up on the glass while pressing the button, could that possibly be regulator related?
