Window Motor

[Flux_nz]

Afternoon,

Recently my window motor died, more so - while it was down about an inch.

I have to keep it inside in case it rains, and cant park it outside - and for the life of me i cant figure out how to get the dam motor out!

Its an r32 coupe, drivers side.

I've checked the amp with a multimeter and its putting out 12v - and power is making it through the plug that connects to the motor.

But as the motor is behind the door frame i cant actually figure out how to get it out?

From what i can see i need to have the window down to remove some of the window bracket bolts, which i assume hold the motor in place.

But as the window is up, and wont wind down (even used something to try pry the gearing with).

Has anyone done this before? - i want to fix this ASAP.but am running out of ideas - a shops quoted 170 for parts an labour but i can get my own motor for cheap and im more than happy to fix it myself.

So you managed to get all the door interior parts off I'm assuming? Kind of hard for me to get a grip on where you are exactly in your situation, mind posting some pictures?
