R32 Skyline Door Window Won't Roll Up (Not Electrical)

[Kanaric]

Was driving and put my window up yesterday and it fell into the door, I can hear grinding and the door trying to function. Don't know anything about car windows, what is likely broken and are there any diagrams or write ups on this?

Searched and only thing I can find is electrical issues, i'm assuming this is mechanical and some kind of a gear broke.

Take the door card off and have a look

This is simple to do.

6 or so push in clips around the door card extremeties (be a little gentle but not too much) maybe use a screw driver to leaver out or the proper tool.

Pull the electrics panel up and disconnect the 2 plugs

Undo the screw in the hand hold

Pull door handle insert off

and then lift the door card up and off

Rather than guess it's best to look and know

(Perhaps the two nuts that hold the glass to the scissor lift have worked there way off.)

Edit: Oh and each time you try to raise it your likely scratching the glass

Well I did take the door card off just didn't know what to look for.

The rails are secured onto the window so that doesn't seem to be the issue here.

Found it. Looks like there is this wire that pulls the door up and down or something, it is broken in two. What's the part I need to replace if that's what it is? Guessing window regulator.

- take a pic and post. Easier to help

Most parts have numbers on them - try google and car make model

Also check Japanese Import Spares - likely they have several

$95 bucks for this ^ and $65 for the left one

What will have happened is the cable on the window mechanism has broken, so you need to buy and fit a new mechenism
