Thread: Front power window repair... more info

This is what has happened to mine I believe.

Any solution?

Just put a dab of weld on the end.

Beauty, that’s what I was thinking. Looks like it used to have something similar there in the first place

Here’s the pics of my mechanism.

Can someone please tell me what part of this stops it from going down too far?

Thanks

This was my solution. It works but the window doesn’t roll all the way down (stays up about 20mm).

I think I might run a bead of arc weld on the top edge of the scissor so that the gear can’t run past the end.

Will do that when I have a bit more time

If you don't make time to fix it first time where will you get the time to fix it after it may be buggered inconvenient & pricey ?

Fair call. I’m at the end of the semester for uni and under the pump.

I put the bolt in a strong section of the mechanism to minimise any damage.

The weld was an afterthought. I wasn’t sure what the reason was for the gear over running the scissor teeth.

Apparently it doesn’t take much of a dent there to allow the gear to run past. I found this out after i did the above

For those playing at home apparently the weld would go where I have marked the red line, on the thin edge, to raise that end of the scissor mechanism.

Theoretically this will stop the motor gear from running past.

I have not done this myself so I can’t attest to how well it works.

If you have done that fix. Please leave a comment here for future players

Cheers
