For anyone doing this for a UK car (or just passenger door) the top cable goes to the outside of the drum reel and the bottom cable goes to the inside (opposite of this video) Had to do it on my car today and spent ages wondering why it didn't tension until I swapped it over! Other than that, fantastic video, super useful and saved us a month wait for the garage to do the job and costing us a fortune!

No problem! Glad it was useful all the way in Mexico 😁

Super useful video but can I ask, why did you need to do this? I have an issue with my window going up over where it should normally stop, does that sound like the same issue or was your window not moving at all etc? Excellent video, many thanks!

Hi, Thanks for the video - how long are the bolts you used to hold the mechanism in place?

No problem ! I think they were 10mm bolts !

How do you pull the window up if you have a dead motor?

hi from Spain! good video. Few days ago my window did a very weird sound, as if the glass broked. Can it be the cable broken? what are you doing exactly on 11:06? I can see just a hole. What about 13:30.. was it easy to fit both springs? Will I need help from other person? In 15:50 how did you roll the cable into this plastic thing? Did you do it manually or used the button of the car to up down the window? I have read in some places that it is difficult to adjust where the window stop, but I dont see how you did that, is it difficult? I bought litium grease, is it ok to use in all the parts you add grease? what lenght of M6 bolt did you use? did you use this locite blue thing for locking bolds in any other bold or just this on? And last question.., why did you take of the interior door? I dont see you do anything inside? Is it necesary? Thanks for your help!

For the springs - difficult. Try a pair of needlenose pliers. I used a 75mm/3 inch pair to compress one spring when it was fitted into the plastic holder, then compress the other spring with a 100mm/4 Inch pair in your other hand - it will be possible to slide it into the plastic holder. Release the small pliers - put your fingers over the second spring and release the second pair. I tried for hours just using one pair and fingers etc. Took me 10 minutes or so once I used two pairs.

Drilling the rivets is what he is doing at 11:06 . 7mm drill CAREFULLY. I used an 8mm drill bit first to remove the very first part (facing you), again - CAREFULLY. The black plastic cover is soft. At 15:50 - wind both cables (one at a time) around the spool (about 2 full turns each) and fit the ends into the spool. As a starting place - the plastic glass holder should be about positioned halfway up in the door, cables routed through their plastic guides etc. Once the cables are on the spool - you'll be able to "wind" it to where you'll be able to put it back on the motor. Loctite BLUE (Number 243) - do not use RED.

You have to take the interior door off so you are able to put the plastic glass holder onto its track properly.

They need to be only 10-11 millimetres long. Just did this myself (commercial m6 x 12 mm thread length) and found I had to cut the screws slightly. I also ditched the washers.

Why do you have to take the front facia off?

@supercar.central

Жыл бұрын

You can do it without taking the front off, but taking it off reduces the risk of scratching / damaging the panels because it can be tight getting the door panel off without the front being removed

Also, why did you have to take the front of the car off? why couldn't you just remove the internal and external door panel?

If you don't remove the front panels then the outer door panel will hit it when trying to remove it
