Title: 159Ti - Driver side window regulator motor gear is busted
Post by: MattK on May 08, 2024, 04:09:25 PM
Hi all, just had the joy of winding down the driver's window and watching it slide further down into the door while the motor whirred trying to push it up. After a tricky disassembly in light rain, I was able to retrieve the window, but the regulator motor whirs without moving the window mounts, and on inspection the nylon gear that fits into the receiver on the cable mechanism is cracked through, so the shaft spins but doesn't turn the gear. I'm guessing I can't just replace the gear itself because it wouldn't be bonded to the shaft?
(edit) or maybe this? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/225497622265

Any pointers or advice will be gratefully received.

update: I received the gear; it's different to the one in the motor housing (which is composed of separate elements whereas that one seems to be a 3D print which just matches the outer dimensions) and I couldn't get the motor housing apart to fit it. Found a used motor to order so I should finally have a working window once I get clear weather and time to fit it.
