...with my power window that is Ever since i bought the car my drivers side window has been a real pain in the butt. But now its worse yet, it'll only go down about 1/8 inch on its own before i have to push it down and i have to pull/push it up as well. Being warm out i tend to use the windows alot with the a/c being my last resort. What am i looking at replacing here, motor, regulator or both?

 

my 96 drivers like go down a lil bit stop and then u had wait 30 minutes or so then it would go down a lil more stop repeat and ik that was motor so id say yea go with both just be safe sumbody else probly say im wrong but yea if u have door tore apart and have sum money replace both be safe and prevent more problems in long run

 

Could be the switch too. The internals of the wear out and don't let enough power through. Its probably the motor tho. You coule try to clean up and re grease everything first and see if that helps.

 

i should have looked at it some when i had the door panel off for my speaker, but i never thought about it. My mechanic gave me a quote one day after he tried to use it, and its like $300+ for him to replace the motor/regulator, i dont think so lol. I'd rather have a screwed up window or do it myself.

 

DIY is your best bet lol my first car (96 cavy) I had the passenger window crank was shot cost me $260 at a mechanics to fix just to use a window stupidest money i ever spent since the car blew up 2 months later.

 

i usually try to save money when i can, like i did the thermostat myself. That im sure saved me a fortune. But $300+ for something im sure i can do, not happening

 

My passenger side has been going for a while now, it's quite weak. Idk though because the driver's side switch is the sketchy one, passenger switch works without fail.

 

Do it yourself its easy just take off the door panel & a few bolts & its out, tape ur window up & itll be fine, motors & regulators are all one part on most car

 

I'm starting to have this problem too, but not as bad. It gets stuck sometimes on the way up. I've never had to help it go up. Usually I can lower it a bit and then get it back on track.

Is it getting stuck in the track or is it just not powerful enough to pull the window up and down?

 

My guess would be the motor is burning out.
