Today's Window Regulator Question.....

[ChiefRider]

My last door surgery was to replace the plastic "clips" that attach the glass to the regulator- these seems to be doing just fine. This failure occurred when I fully lowered the window, and it will now not move. I have accessed the door interior and applying power to the mechanism the window will strain to move up/down but will do neither even with assistance.

How might I get the glass into position so I can access the attachment bolts to remove the glass and then remove the regulator? I have gone thru a few videos and threads, but haven't encountered this yet- Thanks for the wisdom.

I used gorilla tape.

Is it a front window? When mine did this, the window rotated back at the top and gets stuck. I dropped tape down and just had to pull the topl forward half an inch and I could raise it with the motor.

I did see that post, and tried the tape- I couldn't get the window to move. After I got access to the door interior, I applied power to move window up, while trying to lift the window from below, still no luck. The motor attempts to lift it but the window won't move.

I noticed that with the window down (after it failed) the exterior door handle would not return to its fully relaxed position- it would remain slightly proud of that, perhaps 1/8-3/16". The plastic clips attaching the glass to the regulator seem fine, and the regulator cable appears to be taught.

Get some light in there and have a good look, there must be something out of place and binding.
