Hey guys,

I was on my way into work last night and rolled the window down. At first I thought was just frozen becuase it took quite a bit to get in down about 4 inches. I tried to roll it back up and the crank is just spinning and clicking. The window will not roll "UP" at all, but "WILL" roll down.

The window worked fine the day before, no issues at all. I'm looking for a how to guide or replacement parts because it's freaking cold outside.I'm not sure how it works.

 

The splines in the handle are probably shredded. My buddy has a problem like this with his Yota. It took him like a minute of vigorous upward spinning while pulling on the window to get it up. You can get a replacement handle at Pepboys, AutoZone, or wherever they carry the Dorman HELP! product line. I think he got his handle for less than $5.

 

The handle seems in good shape, I think it's the window regulator. I think that is what it's called.

 

Well then pull the door apart and see what needs some fixin'

 

pull up on the window while your cranking it up

 

mine does the same thing and its the stupid regulator inside the door thats grinding.

 

Yep, it's the regulator. Luckily the door has to be replaced anyway. I was hoping to hold off until better weather.

Not only is the regulator skipping, the wire inside it is kinked to hell. How that happened I'll never know. AND one of the brackets is broken off. I guess that clears up what was wrong.

Thanks for the advise guys. Off to the junk yard for parts....can't wait to walk in the mud!

 

better mud then the sh**** snow were getting here hahaha good luck , doors are cheap around here like 50 bucks complete

 

we're getting snow/ice mix a lot. LOL I had a garbage bag from work in the window on the way home last night. The ringing in my ear is still there. Them bags are loud!

 

yea i used to just take off and dress really warm in my zj when the window broke , it sucked hahaha
