Window Regulator Troubleshooting.

Well, my passenger window has become inoperable. The motor is working but i can tell all the slides and shit are binding up and the window doesnt really wanna move. it was about half up/down when the problem first occured, i've been able to lower it completely now but the thing's just totally fucked. Not sure where to go from here, i've never dealt with a power window regulator. I'm guessing the window got jammed up in the rails and now the regulator got bound up and bent.

So whats the best way to go about removing it? I've got the door panel off but i'm really lost on this one guys.

unbolt the glass from the regulator if you can. then change the regulator? im sure all power window procedures are the same.

yea im pretty sure it a simple procedure first remove glass and then there should be certain spots on the door to unbolt all necessary screws/bolts and work ur way through it

Try removing the rubber guide (for the glass), from its track. It's the guide that is closest to the rear of the car (when the door is closed). It is possible that the top of the guide came out of its track/got folded, and has wedged against the glass.

Once you get the rubber guide out, try the window and see if it works.
