1999CL2.3.........closed door..........heard an "odd sound".........window will not go up or down. I've "manually" pulled it up so that it is shut, but it still have free travel.

If I use the switch on the door, I can hear the motor running inside the door and there is a little "grinding" at the end of each up or down stroke.

Please tell me I just knocked the window off of the lift bar?? ?? ??

How easy will it be for me to get inside my door without completely screwing up the factory seal of the door? Any special tools or replacement clips needed to return the door to original state?

Not as good of a repairman as most of you guys, so be kind!

thanks!

 

You should have searched the 1st generation board, but.

Its your window regulator motor. You could find them on ebay.

Replacement is a pain in the ass but i did it, and im not that good with fixing things.

If you search you will find plenty threads on the site with window replacement help.

 

^ Thanks...I'll post in the general discussion thread...the more eyes the better!

 

Yeah its your window regulat. Mine went out and i orderd a regulator. I am going to replace mine today.

 

^ How'd your "install" go??

 

it was easy, just popped out the bolts and put the new regulatr in. It took me about 20 minutes.
