well the problem is that it goes down, but it doesnt go up! the guy from meek told me that the "rubber" was gone. Does this mean i need just the regulator, or do i need a whole new power window motor.
It doesnt go down as smooth as it should either.
Does buying the power window motor from meek come with a reg?
Rubber as in where the glass slides up and down at the top of your door, or the rubber which clips onto the motor itself (and then slips into the regulators slot
When the motor slips/clips into the regulator, there is like a rubber which sits both on the motor bit that spins as well as slots into the regulator slot/hole
i dont know how that would stuff up though.. its a tight fit and my cars had plenty of sliding action in its 215,000kms
as per my previous post, have you tried any tests?
take your door trim off first. and peel back the plastic/rain cover. theres a lot of sikaflex which seems to keep that on
Take out the assembly and slip the motor off the regulator.. It is here you will see the rubber. if it looks fine, try another motor from one of your other doors.. if it still does
not work fine both up and down, then its likely to be your regulator.. you'll know if its your regulator anyway because youll likely see the cable snapped/tangled
take a picture of it apart and maybe we can help a bit more
do this before buying anything as this can be the difference between $140 and $300+
