Window Regulator 5Dr

Recommended Posts

MadeinWigan

My car has electric windows and when I got it they weren't working. Still aren't to be fair.

 

I've stripped the drivers side down and taken the mechanism out, someone has been in before and distorted the door panel a bit. One of the problems was that the metal rail that grips the window had rotted away so I sourced another one, fitted it to the window and tried to put it all back together.

 

Problem now is that I can't get the screws on the mechanism to line up with the holes in the door panels. Any tips?

 

Also how different is the 3dr mechanism to the 5dr, just in case that could be part of the problem.

 

Thanks

I have done a few 4 door ones and the screw holes all lined up easily, maybe your right thinking you have a 2 door one?

Could be, I've checked and the electric motor isn't working, plugged it into the passenger side as I know that side works.

 

I think I'd better source a new regulator, hopefully that will do the job.
