Rear Drivers Side Window Problem
« on: 19 May 2011, 20:42:42 »

Hi all,
My rear window is open about half inch and I cant open or close it. Tried the button on the centre console and on the rear door but neither are working. Is there a simple way of closing it without having to take all the door panel off etc? I dont mind if I cant open it I just want it fully shut.
Thanks in advance

maybe using the key might be worth a try? the soft touch feature, rather than locking the doors with the fob, try it with the key in the door, damn forgot which way is lock. whichever way it is, hold it in that position and see! try it with the driver window lil open to see if the feature works.. goodluck wait for your response!!  :y

can you hear the motor at all ? if you have door open check interior light it should dim slightly when you press the switch to open or close, this will prove motor is trying to work  :y

That feature does work although it only closed my front window and not the rear one

Hi, all I could hear when pressing the button was a little clicking noise but after a few presses I could hear the motor going inside the door, I tried closing the window by pusing it up with my hand and it closed but that also means someone can just pull my window down to open it lol

If it was the switch at fault I wouldn't hear the motor would I?

If you can hear the motor running but the window isn't moving then something has gone wrong with the mechanism... I'll guess at stripped teeth.

Same problem as mine definitely.
Window mechanism is busted.
You can probably also hear small amount of grinding noise.
There is a repair kit to buy (cable that pulls the window and some plastic parts. But you need to strip it down first to confirm
