I guess the old motor just couldn't handle it even after cleaning. Thanks for all the help!

I replaced my driver side window motor today. The motor responds and seems to work fine. However, the window is stuck in the down position. It starts to raise but it's like it's catching on something, only will go up about 1/2". Is this a position sensor issue? I tried to do the reset but I didn't have the door closed.

Thanks for the reply, I did attach the bottom first. I am probably going to pull the passenger side panel tomorrow to see if I can figure out what is going on by looking at a known good one.

Is any of this related to grease streaking on the windows? I want to get my grease streaking fixed before I retint the windows, and I don't know what to replace to get rid of this issue. The dealer said there's a TSB for it, but that i'd have to pay, so, i'd prefer to do it myself to save money.

I took the window motor apart, cleaned it thoroughly, and now it won't go back together... I've spent 3 hours today messing with it and even took it to the local auto parts store and they couldn't do anything, nor did they have any suggestions. I REALLY do not want to spend $150 on a new motor.

[Also having issues with my passenger side windo , would not go down today, but when you open the door it does it's little up/down thing, held down on my key fob and it worked ,the window went down, .. So the motor or fuse must be ok, but cant get the window to go back up by useing the driver or passenger side switches ? probably have to tear the door apart , something about maybe a reset switch on the motor ? ..also there is a 350z manual online at - 350ztech.com , explaining some of these issues ???

I gave in and just bought a new motor from Autozone. I will post up how it works after my install.
