  1. I manage to get it all sorted . Everything back to the same fit and windows been reset properly. I did replace actuators both side in 3 hours. I had noticed tho that it was easier to remove windows from the start of the all operation in order to help manipulate the steel layer without touching the window motor. Taking the window off is a bit scary but does finally help so much for the rest of the job. You don't end up with parts everywhere...
  2. Hi Guys Well same thing happened here, driver side had window motor failing and door actuator not working (compare to other guys I also have the passenger actuator not working anymore too!!!!). In order to save a bit of money on all of this. I decided to get on with the problem myself. Started with the window motor, opened the cover that contain the brushes. Not such a big trouble after all, by applying pressure on one of the brush a bit further contact was made and window motor was back to life again I have bought a new actuator lock (driver side only for now) replaced it (following that awsome tutorial), took the window of the door frame (did it with a mate and we made sure to mark the washes spot), took "outside handle" out, swap the actuator, put everything back together however at the time when we tried to fit the glass back in the frame using the original spot that we marked earlier on, there would be an 0.5 cm gap with the glass and window seal having the door close. Water could then get in the car. We then had to readjust the glass position. Job was done but not feeling 100% original as passenger door would be. Every time I would open the door the glass would roll down a centimeter down when the passenger door would not do it so much (still roll down a bit but not at same high!) once opening the door I could also feel a bit of jiggle with the window in the frame so i had to recheck where was the glass fitting in the frame (these 3 bolts that let you adjust the glass horizontaly to the motor frame). I could also feel a little bit of movement from the outside door handle when pulling it , it's not much but it's here. Though I would have a second look at it, so I moved the glass horizontal adjustment in the window frame and when glass is up it touch the arches of the car. So I am going to have to readjust it. An extra problem came in too: now when I roll the window up, it hits the top and roll down halfway down...Obviously the window motor does not understand where is the end of the glass run... I had a look at the window reset button, followed procedure from other post on internet and it still doesn't work anymore. Any help on that would be very appreciated. Cheers.
