allblue Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi They should be screwed into place. Open roof. Remove the rear bench, Remove bolt securing passengers rear seatbelt - this will allow you to remove the rear card, Remove upper seatbelt mounting and put to one side. Also remove lower seatbelt mounting rail. It's just a case of then remove read panel card, after undoing all the screws. Remove window outer weatherstrip and rear rubber block. Use screwdriver to remove window from mech. This may have to be done by initally lowering the window for access., and then rasing it to remove the other side and the retaining screw. Remove window. Remove three screws securing the mech to the car & disconect the wiring, Change motor over. Check to see if it's working. NB remember to temporarily connect the rear window switch before trying as this forms part of the circut. Put everything back. Hope this helps. Good to have a garage or a nice sunny day like today to do it in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kevsbluecab Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Superb thanks for that guide, how will I lower the window to unscrew it? Is there any way I can manually wind it as the motor has packed up? Also will I have to adjust it when it's all back in? As at the mo it fits snug on the roof? Thanks again Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allblue Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hi, No manual way as far as I know. The side with the retaining screw is easy, as it is easily accessible with the window up. Normally as you would lower the window for easier access to the remove the other channel, you may have to find a way to prise the window from this channel. Having small hands available might help. You oonly need to carry out adjustment to the alignment of window if you replace the full window mech. If you're just replacing the motor, you shouldn't have to carry out the adjustment process.

Guest kevsbluecab Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well finally got it sorted after I stripped the door cards etc I plugged the new motor in and still no joy luckily I didn't take the old motor or mech out, just plugged the new one in. It turned out to be the relay I swapped them all about and had one faulty, ( I did do this a while ago but didn't realize that the passenger side had two relays one for front and one for rear ) so anyway I took the relay to bits and found a dry solder joint soldered it back up and hey presto four working electric windows!!! Have it!!!!!! Cheers for your help mate Kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
