electric window problem

[Mckellar]

Copied this off ebay and wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that i could pick one up for cheaply or anyone has one lying around *hopeful*

This will fix all regulator faults:Motor sounds but the glass does not move, glass dropped to one side, or fallen into the door! (Caused by the plastic clamps breaking)



Or noisy grinding operation or jamming (Caused by broken, twisted ,corroded or fraying cables/spool)

i believe my window regulator has gone, so its sitting with a block of wood stuck up the door
makes a really nasty sounding grinding noise.

anyone know any scrappies etc i could phone too?

cheers, David

can try them, i do believe they post stuff out as well, but cant guarantee it. i know it miles from glasgow but if they post then...
been there a few times and what ive bought has seemed reasonably priced.

sounds like the cable has actually frayed and jammed up inside the regulator/motor.

same thing has happened on 4 Ibiza's/Cordy's I've owned !!! lol

also is there a way i could just unjam the motor?
that wud save a few probs i suppose

 

[ibiza_95]

if its a grinding noise id say its most likely to be the mechanism thats gone. mines gone twice now, and when the cable starts to fray and twist it starts sounding like the mechanism is chewing the cable up. the motor will probably be fine, but then i bet its cheaper to buy the whole thing as opposed to just the mechanism.

once the cable has gone tho you cant fix it

 

[Mckellar]

if i can get somewhere sheltered tonght i might strip the door down and see whats actually hapening.
it sounds more like the cable is just fraying, cos the motor still wants to spin.

do the components from a polo fit does anyone know, plenty on ebay!

 

[ibiza_95]

everyone has said that mk3 ibizas have the same doors exactly the samepart so i would presume that the mk3 mechanism would fit. have no idea about the polo im affraid

 

[Mckellar]

yep the mk3 doors do fit, i jus now need to get one thats breaking, trying to source parts for an ibiza aint half hard, next car ! 1.2 corsa SXI!!
joking, but at least theres 10's of thousands being broken, spose thats good though
