Thread: passenger front window not working

My first guess would be a broken roller on the window regulator. This will have caused the gear to stick. Getting the lining off is easy. Just be careful but expect to break one or two panel pins. Use a thin, stiff, flat object with a V cut in it if you can't get a proper tool.

The regulator is the same on the D1 and D2. You can replace the roller - do a search of the forum for the how on that - or just buy a new regulator. If you do need to replace a roller, I'd be doing both of them.

due to time constraints (going away wednesday for five days) I HAD to get it done by professional - turns out the motor was the problem - so looking for one at the moment - meanwhile window stuck up with timber and tape (on the inside of the door lining of course)

Thanks for your help, anyway!

Would like to see a pic of that!
My drivers side is held up with a bit of bent coat hanger, and a nut and bolt with 2 washers.

Maybe we could start a thread on "temporary fixes while we wait 10 weeks for the right parts to arrive by Australia post canoe"!!

I'll post mine up when I get the door trim off again....honest!
