Hi All

My poor old drivers electric window on my '99 TH sports has started to pack it in, when you wind window down all seems ok, maybe a little slow, but winding back up sounds kinda like something is scraping as the window comes up (basically sounds like electric window mechanisim is falling apart) - As of tonight, window will basically not wind down at all past about 20%

I have arranged to take to auto electrician in the morning (Also damn remote central locking and alarm won't work, and stock radio headunit thinks I am getting a mobile call through the mobile phone car kit all the time- which i no longer use!)

The auto electrician said that the mirror motor assembly is in two pieces, the motor and some other part - he mentioned the name but I can't remember, but he said he wasn't sure if I would be able to JUST buy the "other" part or be forced to buy motor with it, which i assume is hideously expensive :(

Has anyone had this problem / know if both parts are still available separately?

Cheers

have you lubricated the edges of the glass with something
to make it run smoother in the groove
can you swap over a motor from the back door glass
time to visit a wrecker for a mirror
throw the radio head unit out the window


lubricated the edges

what do you use to do that. mine go up slowly but nothing wrong with mtoro for window
