Thread: Front power window stuck down

Sounds like the roller has gone on the scissor mechanism. Take the door card off

I suspect i need to remove the electric winder mech but appears difficult with the window right down any suggestions.
Sparky. 96 D1

First pull the lining off and investigate, may stripped the end of the gear on the regulator so you may be able to assist it up to secure it then get a new regulator

The white nylon roller appears to have fractored i take it this what you mentioned, are these replaceble looks like its rivited to the scissor arm.

You can drill the rivet out. Centre punch and pilot drill to get things going.

Yep

Ok got it apart and out the door, cable tied a piece of conduit to the window track to hold the window fully up. There is a place in Brisbane that supplies brass replacements so will go down this track.
The motor gear had gone past the full down position and was just spinning a bit of force and it reengaged the gear drive, is there a trick to realigning the drive gear so that the window finishes in the correct position.
If there is one saving grace with Land Rovers that would be any problem you have has occured thousands of times before.

It knows where the end of the run is because it can't go any further, so there is no special position
