:D

Ive been looking around this site and found numerous post about driver side window problems. My car has also fell victim to the window nightmare where it is now unable to go up or down anymore (unfortunately the last position it was left in was all the half way anyone can just reach in and open the car and take my sound system and gear knob if its a hobo. kekeke. sorri.). Im gona assume its the motor. Anyone else have this problem? My car has not been driven for like 2 weeks caz of this problem. Bloody miss driving my baby. Thank god I have a garage. If not man it would have been flooded with rain or stolen whichever comes first. LOL.

Anyone else think its something else? or have any solution say away or know of any auto electrician who wont charge me trillions and trillions of money and thats just for the motor. LOL. Anyways Thanks for your yuummy time.

tO bE COntiNued... HopEfUllY! :lol:

I expect your usual mechanic should be able to diagnose and fix the problem themselves if you are not able to rather than having to use a specialist electrician

I've had 4 different problems with my power windows (on the proton of course)

1. Motor

2. The wire pully thing came off

3. Something else (current problem) - motor works, wire is fine but its not going up straight.. falling to one side all the time

4. The actual switch

The first two times, I've just taken off the door panels and found out straight away what the problem and the last time I was just sick of doing it so I got my mechanic to chekc it out, cost me next to nothing too

PROTONS ROCK!

Sorry for the delay

Thanks everyone

My relayer (black box) thing clicks everytime I push the up or down switch for my window but nothing happens. So your saying its not the motor but the regulator? ill give it a check today with the mechanics. I always thought it would cost alot to repair this things. Thanks all. Ill give you the end result of this endless battle to open windows. :lol:

also having window problems too.. again :O .. when the window is fully up and ya press the button to move it down, it drops slightly one way, then the other, then goes down fine.. seems to do the same thing on the way up, but not drop oviously.

also wile im on about the windows.. if i dont have the windows all the way up and i cose the door, they rattle and makes that 'cheap car door' noise..

any ideas? im thinkin the regulator guides mite not be holding the windows firm, and for the droping one.. i duno, cause ive had it fall off the regulator once b4 and fixed it by screwing the bolt back on and lock tighting it.

from experience, the cheap car door noise happens with all r32s and r33s with their windows not fully up.. :O

      My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.

      I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.

      I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
