agent.chaos Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 When I raise the passenger window the motor is letting out a grinding noise, or at least a noise that doesn't sound 'smooth'. Should I: 1. open the door up and spray some kind of lubricant on the motor? 2. replace the whole window motor itself? The US spec motor should work on a Jspec, right?

merckx Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) I would suspect that the cable has frayed and is about to break, it's happen on mine and with others on here too. You can't just buy the cable, the full assembly is required. I don't think the motor is included, you can see it in this pic. I used my many skills to just replace the cable with one made for a bike.

Remove the door card and inspect it first .. could be the cable starting to fray causing the motor grief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pot Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 No he means the cable for the electric windows on a bike. Now I have to clean my monitor... You owe me 3 screenwipes, and a wash of a tea towel, but I'll let you off for the LOL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 No he means the cable for the electric windows on a bike. lol It's not quite as easy as you think it might be, you've got to cut the cables to length and fix terminations on the end.

I just surprised it can be fixed that way. I'll definitely give that a try. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
