Power Window, Broken Plastic "cup" Bits

[DriftinThruLife]

My window (drivers side) stopped working properly. It would go down, but not back up. I would have to literally pull the window up while pressing the button.

After doing some detective work, and pulling off the door trim/plastic cover, switches etc.....

I could see, that the scissor-like mechanism that pushes the window up, connect to the bottom of the window via these plastic rollers (also called "cups") that can slide along the rail.

Problem is, the plastic bits were broken....which is why the mechanism wasnt connecting to the window properly.....and which is why the window wasn't going up.

Has anyone else had this problem? can you just buy those plastic bits from somewhere...or do you have to replace the whole power window mechanism?

best to try wreckers or go for equivalent at hardware, If I is broken chances are the other or others will go soon,, maybe get price on from nissan for new plastic piece. The scissor mechanisn your talking about is a window regulator.. best of luck... let us know how u go
