Default My window wouldnt roll down

My driverside window was working fine and I parked my car and went to the bank, OI came out and I was only in there for 5 min and when I opened my door I noticed that It didnt roll down a little to seal against the rubber, then I turned my car on and it would not roll down, What happend? after 30 min went by I tried it again and it worked, Should I bring it to the dealer?

Default window

Were you depositing or withdrawing at the bank?
lol

You need a new motor. I found one on ebay actually for $110 and replaced it myself. Unless your car is under warranty, dealer will charge you close to $400!!!
You can find the window motor for about $190 in some web sites.

Good luck

Slaming the door does work.
My problem started by window not going up.

yea i've got every bit of that 950 bucks i paid for it out of them. the funny thing is i put a nismo clutch and flywheel in with the tranny when the replaced it, and they put it in for free. but i didnt realize what the chatter was at first so they changed the tranny 2 more times before they figured out that it was normal with the clutch and flywheel.

Which extended warranty did you get? I have the gold plan which cost me $50 to have the window motor replaced. Looks like a worth wile investment now.

yea i have the gold i piad $50 for the second window motor but not the first.


yea the dealership i bought my car at offered free tires for life, if you rotated your tireds there and got alingments there. i had the sales man put the nitto nt555's on the contract. but it i couldnt lower the car unles i used the nismo s-tune otherwise i would void that warrenty. so i got the rear tires for free after about 45000 miles. but it was such a pain i said screw it and lowered a week after i got my new tires. they wouldnt give me the same tires so they gave me the cost of the tires i had i and got kuhmo's instead. unfortunatly i had to buy the fronts out of pocket.

It works now but you think I should stil take it to the dealer to get fixed?, how long did it take them to fix yours? Also I did buy that extended warranty so I hope its no charge or just a small sur charge

Ah crap, my passenger window sticks too. If it goes all the way up or all the way down it sticks. I was going to take the door apart and lube it. I have to pound on the door to get it to work too. Sounds like I'm one of the million others that needs a new motor.
