Outer Limits 4x4 Board

My new Mav has electric windows and I'm having trouble with the passenger side front window. It goes down fine but won't go up unless you pull it up. Any ideas what the problem is.

I tried searching but I didn't really find what I need.

Thanks

does it make a noise like its trying to go up?

Yeah I think so.

The runners wear out on them heaps.. they dont stay in the track going up then.

other issues, if its been rarely used, it could just have shitty contacts. rear ones are hideous for this, my left rear wont go up again now, gotta rip it apart.

theres a PLASTIC gear in there that usually strips too, if its making noise and going nowhere, then $1.00 says this is your issue..

whats happening with the mk? is that nice v8 going in the mav?

I don't think the runners are worn, all the other windows work fine. It is like it just doesn't have the grunt to lift it up by itself, it just needs a bit a hand. Will be pulling the trim off this week to have a closer look.

The MK is Getting a new gearbox and diffs The Mav is a Turbo diesel and is going to be my tourer.

I have a similar problem but no noises just seesm to be a contacts or switch issue.

Give the rubbers in the guides a lube with either silicon spray or Graphite powder. Never use any petroleum based lubes as they attract dust.

If that doesnt work the guides can sometimes be out if adjustment causing the window to kick sideways when it goes up. Worn regulators cause this too.

Replace the crappy plastic geary coggy thingy, they get stripped and become useless

would be interested to find somewhere that makes the gears in maybe brass? I think they would sell well!

My passenger front is rooted

I pulled out the window mechanism and now cant see how I get to the little plastic cog Ideas ? Pics would help !

Dont want to have to buy the whole mechanism

you have to buy the whole motor to replace the 20c cog, do what i did and get an engineer to copy the cog out of brass, mine has worked without poblem for nine years now, make sure you get at least two made at the same time tho
to get to the cog you have to take motor out and on the face of it you will see a circlip, pop it off and you will get to it

some times if the left side window motor wont work from the left side switch the problem can be dirty contacts in the left switch on the drivers side main control panel silly i know but it happend to me .
also you can take the motor out of the back door and fit it in the front just to check if its the motor or not
