Window lift, front door


To remove


1. Open the front door.

2. Remove the door trim, see Service Manual, 8:2 Interior Equipment.

3. Remove the plastic water barrier.

4. Lower the window lift approximately 10 cm until the glass mounting is visible in the upper door holes.


5. Fasten the glass in the frame with 2 strips of tape.

6. Detach the scissor-lift stay from the window mounting by removing the clips and then prising the stay away from the sliding rollers with a large flat chisel. Prise the top edge between the stay and the rail.


Prise close to the edge to avoid deforming the rail.

7. Drill out the blind rivet heads (4 pcs) and knock them out of the door (8.5 mm drill bit, 4 mm drift).

8. Run the window lift motor so that the scissor-lift takes up as little space as possible.

9. Unplug the connector for the window lift motor.

10. Remove the scissor-lift guide channel, fastened with 2 nuts.

11. Lift out the window lift assembly.

Note

If the window lift motor is not functioning, tape the window glass in the frame, drill out the rivets and then lower the window.


Window lift motor




12. Remove the 3 retainer screws that secure the motor to the window lift.

Note

If one of the retainer screws should be hidden by the scissor-lift gear wheel and the motor is not functioning, it is possible to turn the gear wheel with the motor's rotor.

Do not dismantle the motor until you are absolutely certain that is not functioning.


First dismantle the stator, fastened with four screws, to access the rotor. Then turn the rotor while pressing on the gear wheel until the retainer screw is accessible.

13. Remove and replace the motor.


To fit

Fit in reverse order.

Note

Work is facilitated if heavy pop-riveting pliers are used. Adjust the position of the window glass as follows:



• Raise the window to approximately 3 cm from the closed position.

• Press the window glass rearwards in the frame.

• Check that the top edge of the window is parallel with the frame.


Important

Make sure the water drainage plastic is tight against the inner panel of the door and that it is not damaged.
