Of course now that my car is for sale I thought I would get some things done to make sure the car is setup and ready for a new potential owner.
2008 Coupe with 72K miles. 2K miles out of warranty.
The car was at a dealership getting some work done. All in all I wasn’t happy with the overall condition they took care of my car but that’s another issue. Anyways after picking the car up from the dealership the passenger window developed a crazy clunking noise. Like an idiot I was hoping this would be an issue that just “worked” itself out. Not the case. Only got worse. The window would only roll halfway up and almost all the way down. It still did the auto-drop even though it was halfway up. Not a clue how or why it did this nor do I care.
I was out in the garage tonight very optimistic I would find a clip broke or missing. Not the case. I got the entire assembly out which wasn’t super hard just a bit tedious. I bench tested the assembly and sure enough same result. Without the window or anything it would still run about halfway up, make a grinding grunting noise then quit as it if it reached the top although it didn’t.
So my question for those of you who have dealt with this is what’s the current best place/pricing on these? Also is there a current replacement that is better other then the part numbers listed previously in this thread? Also does anyone have a write up on re-assembly? It seems like its going to be quite difficult to get this thing back in there and I haven’t had the best of luck getting them in and working smoothly.
