Hey guys. my driver side window gets stuck halfway going up. What do you guys think could be the problem? its rainy season so i would like to fix this instead of getting wet!
The way regulators are made is weird. Sounds like the gear is starting to warp its way through the hole not allowing it to grip 100% / get stuck. This has happened to me before. Be aware that it will only get worse and then it will break.
Grab a buddy and pull it out and take a look however I can almost guarantee you need a new regulator.
UNLESS.
There is just a lot of gunk build up due to just enough water getting in. Grease + Metal shavings from the window regulator moving up a down 1000's of time + just enough water = some nasty chunky poo.
Pull the panel, take out the window, unbolt the 6ish bolts and remove the regulator. It's simple. Grab a buddy.
If you take it out and the little gear looks warped or starting to pull through the hole then it definitely is time to replace. You will no what I am talking about.
I've changed quite a bit of them so I speak from experience.
