The front window on my driver's side (left side in Norway) is stuck around 1,5 cm below the top. I am going to check it out today, but I'm pretty sure the comfort modul and/or the motor's damaged. But is it possible to remove the motor without removing the full regulator system? On my car the regulator is inside the door, not on a convenient metal plate, like later models (that would of course be too easy for my luck...). I really would like to close the window, so I won't have to drive around with gaffa tape on it until I can get the parts I need to fix it. Or do I have to remove the full regulator, remove the motor from it, put it all back in, close it and finally remov the regulator again to put back the motor, so the window doesn't slide down of itself?

Thanks in avance!

You have to remove the full regulator assy in order to remove the motor from it.

OK, thanks. If I remove the motor and put the regulater back in, will the window slide down, like I anticipate, or will it stay up?

Cool that your car uses LPG, btw. My Chevy Suburban runs on that.

Yes the window will slide down because the motor acts as a brake.You must use something else to hold the window up temporarily.

when you remove the regulator assy check the plastic clips on the regulator usually those break causing the problem you have.

Thanks again! I'll lock it with a clamp or something. Or maybe try to put it back in so that it's on the top when I do. I guess it's hopeless to try to turn it manually, the motor must be a quite powerful brake. Holding the window with one hand on each side couldn't move it more than a few millimeters, and it fell down again to where it was.

Actually it was possible. I could sneak my hand around the regulator and get a small tool in to loosen the three screws that holds the motor to the regulator. But it's a tight fit, regular tools won't work. Found out that the problem was a bad connection between the convenience module and the motor. A bit of contact grease was all that was needed, so no need to block the window with anything. Works now.
