My window had been making like a crunching noise for a while now.

 

Now I know what it was it had chewed all the plastic of the winder up and stripped it all.

 

I need to get my window to stay up as it won't at the moment, any idea??

Same thing happened to me when we were coming back from France last year. I had some old peices of heater hose in my toolbox and used this between the glass and the door frame, not pretty and a pain not being able to use the window, but it worked and got us home ok. I spent ages trying to fix the old mech, using bits from other mechs salvaged from the scrappy. Waste of time and effort as none of the fixes lasted long. Ended up paying about £100 for a whole mech from another forum member. Have since seen them go for about £50 elsewhere, I think I was quoted about £150+ from Toyota and there was going to be quite a long wait too.

 

Give the guys at QSD a call.

Yeah all the wires were sheared and tangled etc.

 

I have got it held up firmly (well so far) with an old decking spindle.

 

Trust this to happen when I'm broke too. I was planning on getting the front bumper sorted that I had cracked :(

A new mech from Toyota is under £70. Or if funds really tight, Jezzybabes may have one.

 

£70!!! Is that for a complete mech? I was quoted twice that from two seperate dealerships. I bought mine from Wayne (supradibbs).
