Oh so does that mean the motor has developed some kind of free play?

I got my partner to adjust the window it now drops ok but still with the horrid click.

Wot is actually making the click sound

does your driver side window and passenger side window both go up and down at the same speed? or is 1 slower than the other?

this is a very common problem with these cars, usually the motor generates alot of gunk and dirt inside the motor usually around the brushes. There is a DIY to clean them but usually the problem just comes back later so best to solve the issue right the first time.

BUT, in saying that i'm not sure if that problem is caused by the gunk and shit building up by the motor. I would PM Chris Rogers or wait til he replies here usually he chimes in on these topics regarding the power windows

From images I have seen online, the motor seems well closed off, so I would say all the "generated gunk" you see is basically bits that were once part of the motor itself... this of course is coming from someone who appears to have "solved" their window problems with a mild bang on the outside of the door with his hand. :wacko: twice...

Thanks guys for the support.

So wot is making the loud click sound it sounds like something is hitting the window itself and why is it dropping quickly in the first instant?

Do the cables stretch?

And the the 2 bottom threads that screw into the bottom of the window tracks with the flat blade slot in the end of them that hold the tracks to the silver plate that bolts the main part of the door?

How do I know how much to screw them in or out?

why are you touching them in the first place? that it the main adjustment for the angle of the glass. keep screwing with it and you will be up for a regulator as well. leave it alone.

They wer all loose n there was clear signs they had been tampered with/adjusted preiviously,kind of sucks but we will work thru it.

Do u know where they should be?

I don't mind buying a new regulator if it means everything will be spot on.

Do u know why it's dropping really quick for just the first part and making the horrible click sound/wot is physically making the sound.

So Chris can you just let me know what exactly the Regulator does? Need to know because if i replace my window motors i would like to be sure that it would solve my "auto" up and down feature of my drivers side because that's stopped working

graphite grease.

regulator is what holds and moves the glass in place. if all you have done is drop the 4 bolts holding it on then fine. if you have taken the 4 bolts off AND moved tbe bolt position then i cannot help you as i need the car un front of me. either way you need two motors at best. do the locks whilst you are there as those will fail next.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
