    Driver window

    So for a while I was having problems with my window. It would come off track and the motor would stop. So then finally it stopped working altogether. My question is if it is stuck in the up position how do I get the window out to replace the motor and regulator? Thanks for the help. I am a noob to this never had power windows.

    youve gotta pull off the driver side door panel, then force it down, unhook it from the window, and it should pull out if everything is unbolted

      So I can just force it down? I think I tried that but it wouldn't go.

        My second driver side window motor blew, within 1 year. I adjusted the window rails perfect both times and they end up messing up again.

        Is this a common issue?

          They indeed are, sad to say. Nevertheless, I've seen newer cars with the same issue in less time.
          Keep in mind also, these cars are 20 years old, and that drivers window gets a work-out.
          I've gone through one motor in 15 years ..

          The sad thing is, they do have a tendancy to wanna shift around and get out of line.
          Some never have had the issue, yet so many others have.

            well you can unbolt it from the rail and let it go down, but make sure you can put it back up incase of rain

            and the back door windows suck! they are cable guided, an the plastic pieces like breaking, i had to do the same one when i first got my car

              Heh. Actually I already unbolted it to get it all the way up. Didnt think about doin that to get it off, and that kinda sucks about the back because my rear passenger window has been acting like its about to die too.

                replacing the back passenger motor isnt any harder than replacing the front driver, id just get the motors and hit them both at the same time

                  In order to take the door panel off how many screws did you guys take off? For some odd reason I only find like 4 and it still doesn't come off.

                    Thanks for the info guys. Ill hopefully get this done this weekend. To Da Fez did you pop out all the clips that the door panel locks in with? There are a bunch around the edge.

                      there are also some screws that are awkward to get to, you might end up breaking off the bracket like i did =/

                        There's a sticky for it somewhere. In short:
                        Take off all the screws and tabs you can see. Take out the screw from the door handle and slide the handle backwards. Slowly pop out the rivets until the panel is loose. It should move like a hinge against the window. Pull it upwards and disconnect any wires.

                          hmm it gets loose but it seems like it has like one screw on somewhere. I took all the screws I could see plus the ones next to the door handle.... Maybe I'm just missing something stupid

                            You got the one in the armrest? Where is it stuck at? Its probably just the clips.
