| Description of the problem | Arrived home from work and rolled up both the driver and passenger windows. I put up my sunshade, locked the doors, and walked up my driveway, hearing a "thump" behind me. When i turned around, my drivers side window was down. I attempted to roll it up again, and hear a "grinding" noise from the door, with no window movement. After disassembling the door, i found the window regulator is broken and there is cable wrapped all around it. I did some internet searches to see if anyone had information on repairs, and there is a lot of information, as this is a very common failure. Given the loud noise and sudden drop of the window, i'm very glad this didn't occur as i was driving, it could very easily cause an accident. |
