Window Regulator

Featured Replies

Hi,

I recently had an issue where my drivers window went down and failed to come back up. I replaced the regulator (not simple) and the plugged back in the window switches. The window comes up but does not close fully, about 20-30mm short. When I press it to open it opens fully but still won’t close fully. Any ideas what could be wrong ?

I haven’t been really able to find anything that might help with finding a solution.

Often this means the window is so stiff that the motor current reaches the limit and stops, so worth checking that the window is not too tight in the runners.

A good idea to clean and lubricate the window runners. See from 5 minutes 11 seconds, the section called 'Drivers Window' of the video below. GT85 can be used instead of silicone spray.

After cleaning and lubricating the window runners try the reset as here -

If the window stops a few centimetres down from the top you may need to read up on the Force Limit(er) in the car's 'Owner's Manual'.

Let us know how you get on.
