Subject:      Power window question.
Content-type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=iso-8859-1; reply-type=original

The passenger-side power window does not work on my 87 Westfalia. I don't
hear the motor when I operate the switches or apply direct 12 volt to the
motor. (This confirms dead motor.)

And the window itself seems to have come undone from the regulator for I can
slide it up or down with hands with ease. The lifting/pulling wire from the
motor does not move. The window itself wants to stay down so I have it up
using some wedges from underneath. (This probably means broken window
regulator.)

Now, has anyone fixed the power window by tearing into the power window
motor or fixing the window regulator without replacing the whole thing? I
suspect that the original design of the power window regulator is flimsy and
just no good.

Or, if anyone has these items for inexpensive I would like to hear about
them. Thank you.
