Is it the window regulator?
Discussion
Dear All,
987 - 2008
The cold icy weather took its toll on my driver's side window when it was iced up. The window went through its cycle of trying to drop when I first opened the door without success. I got in, shut door, drove to work. Opened window at barrier and it went down. Barrier went up after showing my card.....window did not. Tried pulling it up, got a colleague to hold button in up position whilst I pulled - nothing. I left car with window half open. I then went back to car 2 hours later and wondered whether it would go back up if engine was running. I push button up, it moved an inch, then push button down, it moved 2 inches, pushed button up, it moved 3 inches, pushed button down etc etc and it finally went up. Unfortunately that is the last time the window worked. It won't go up or down. The drop doesn't happen when I open the door. However when the door is opened and I manually push window down for the drop, it does automatically go up when I close the door. When I do push the button to operate the windows, although the window won't go down, it just makes the same noise as it would if working - no crunching just a quick whirr.
I have watched the regulator replacement videos, still can't work out how that thing raises and lowers the window - In any event, what thinks the panel, is it the regulator?
Many thanks in advance,
