Hey everyone,

For a few months my window has been making these chronic clunking noises when i goto close it. It only happens when its about 1 inch away from the top (of closing). The only way to get it to the top is to grab onto it when its going up and assist it by giving it a help with lifting.

I had the door panel off yesterday trying to diagnose the problem but couldnt figure it out.

Surely someone has some advice?

Thanks, George

hey the window reg drive is rubber they split all the time if this is busted the window will fall

down all by itself and wont go up or down by the switch or the motor itself is busted they have plastic gears

that are prone to striping / its just a few bolts to undo to pull the whole thing out and have a look :P

    • Yep, the plan is to do some work in Japan, as I mentioned above possibly keeping it there longer than November 2025. Frankly, I'm not dealing with TopRank ever again and, because my car is no longer with them, I could work with BBL/GY directly👍 But alas, I'm not looking at major bodywork just yet.
    • Yeah I had the probes on the battery terminals.  Sounds good. What reading should I expect to see in a car that runs well? 
    • I went for the scissor lift option, gives a 3ft lift at full lift. I wanted a 2 post but my concrete wasn't deep enough to secure it properly
    • Depending on exactly where that voltage is being measured, that is most likely the battery is f**ked. If the multimeter probes are on the battery's own terminals, then it is f**ked. If they are on the car's terminals, then there is a bad connection. Either are fatal to the attempt to start it. Literally just put it on the 20VDC range, put one probe on the battery's -ve terminal (ideally not the car's terminal) and the other on the block somewhere exposed/metal, like an engine mount bolt head. You can also test the earth lead is steps, so from battery to body earth, body earth to engine connection point, engine connection point to some other spot on the engine, to see if you can isolate where a shit connection actually is.
    • I meant to write 50 originally and then double checked the price and found it was ¥12m (125k) and came to edit it and realized I had accidentally added and extra 0 in the first place lol
