My window got stuck down today right before I walked in to work. I can't wait for my next off day to fix it! I'll update with it if the cleaning fixed

 

So after more than 2 months the cleaning out of the motor has held up nicely. I am thinking its best to do this yourself, inspecting the brushes and only replacing if you think absolutely necessary. If not a good cleaning with forced air and hi grit sandpaper should get your window rolling again. With that said I am sure my window will get smashed this week.

 

After inspecting my motor and cleaning it, I found one of my brushes is completely gone. Does this mean my motor is shot? Also I've had a hard time getting the threads all the way back down and closing the motor flush. Any suggestions?

 

redon...are you sure that 1 brush is completely gone? Any chance that it is just pushed down all the way and is hidden? If so you can try to tinker with a screwdriver and try to get it to spring back out. If your 100% sure brushes are completely gone I would not bother with that thing unless you go forward and do that brush replace. That seems like a pain in the ***** to me and you would have to hit the jackpot to find a hobby shop that is open and stocks that brush. If you can wait better off ordering online. Could be a cheap fix (under $10), but you may be better off not dealing with any solder and all that bs and just going to autozone and getting a lifetime warranty refurb and getting your window working by evening. Just my opinion. I hate soldering.

Also I think I remember what you were talking about getting the threads all the way back down. I remember some sort of magnet action going on, and just forcing that sht on. I dont know maybe someone remembers better than me. Good luck.

 

i edited 2 posts and just made 1, now left with this 1 orphan post.

 

Great! Thanks for the response/suggestion. Like you I am going with the warrantied one. IK hate soldering too.

 

Just did this and it fixed the problem! Thanks so much! Saved me hundreds of dollars!!!!!!


God bless G35driver!!

 

I know this thread is pretty old. But I just cleaned the motor and now I'm having issues getting it all sit back in the gear correctly. Any little tricks or something? Please let me know.

 

I remember something happening when I tried to put that magnet cover thing back on and I just forced it down all the way. not sure this is the same thing you are seeing tho, Sorry been a while. I actually posted the below response a while back when someone had a sim question.

try spinning the square peg on the other side

 

Thanks guys. I tried spinning it and it didnt do anything.I had to force it on.

 

Awesome thread just used it to fix my Window.. Thanks a lot

 

Thank you so much for this DIY. Before my window would get stuck down and such. Cleaned the motor and all is normal again!

 

I know this was a long time ago, but did you ever find a fix for this? My driver's side window does the same thing. It seems like there's just too much slack in the cable that pulls the window down the 10 mm. If I push the window down manually it drops the proper amount. Otherwise the window works fine. I tried the reset procedure a few times already and also had the door apart but didn't seen anything misaligned.

 

Help , i took my motor apart to clean it and not the copper thing that spins wont go all the way in ???
