Window Motors!

I'm at 18K and my driver's door just started doing it. Probably have to stop by the dealer and get a motor on order. Gee, don't I sound excited too???
Well, at least it's summer and I have to have the windows up right now!!! 107 yesterday
Watch out guys/girls: I came out from the movies and found my window rolled down 3-4 inches by itself. Also, if it's not rolling all the way back up when you close the door and lock the car, all you need to do is push the window down with your palm and you can reach your hand inside.
Bad, bad, bad...
I have had to resort to rolling the window up from the passanger side and then locking the car just to be sure it was closed correctly. This, however, is getting old...

Drivers window
I have 20k on my car and the drivers side window does absolutly nothing. It is stuck in the up position and I am afraid that it will damage the window seal when I open and close the door. Looks like I get to waste more time at the dealership trying to get a warrenty repair.

same here, 13.5k miles, driver-side window does not go down. It started Friday, it wouldn't go up all the day, then all of a sudden it decided to work. Then Saturday, it wouldn't go down, then it decided to work. Now it doesn't work again, i'm not touching it until i get it to the dealer.
Is there a TSB out for this? and do all Nissan dealers give out loaners?

I just got my drivers side motor replaced same symptoms as some of you out there. I use the auto window up feature and window goes up and back down about 3-4 inches. Anyways knew that the door panel had to be removed( for about the 6th time) so I inspected the doors carefully because of past problems with the dealer monkeys breaking clips marring plastic and leaving control panel/ finisher all crooked. I did notice some of those pick prying tool thingy indentations on the panel and the tweeter little 45 degree triangle black plastic cover clips didn't fully snapped in. My adviser said I could come back for that but they always mess something up, this pisses me off greatly. They also sated that they could not duplicate the clunking sound from the front end that happens when I turn the steering wheel when backing up. I am taking it back for that and sticking around for a test driver. The control panel was not flush to door panel so I decided to just get a screwdriver and carefully align it myself and save the head ache of the dealer trying to fix it and scratching it again.

I started having the same problems with my drivers window. 1st got stuck in up position, then down, then at all different spots. I was able to get mine to work after a little fanageling. If it is stuck up or down: open and close the door with your finger on the window button advancing it up or down (dont do the auto up/down). If that doesn't work when you are in the car with the door closed give a decent tap on the door panel a couple inches underneath the door handle. I ended up douching the window w/ WD-40 and assisted the window for about 20 minutes and it has been fine since. That is the 1st time I noticed the grease streaks some other people have mentioned. If I had to guess I'd say something is pinching the window and it is tricking out the motor vs the motor sticking or just crapping the bed. All this great fun started for me in the 13,000 neighborhood.

Thanks for this thread guys. At least I'll have a little ammo when I go to get my driver's side door motor replaced soon. 38k miles.
Edit: My auto up does not work and I've had the window stick "up" once. Somehow it went down today to my surprise although auto up was still broken.

Luckily it was Friday and drove it to the local Nissan dealer. Service guy used this technique. I was a little skeptical at first and then he told me that they've got one in town that has a new motor on order. This wasn't his first time.
BTW, the service guy seemed skeptical himself that the window "auto-rolled down" when I shut the door, but the same thing happened the next day. Shut the door and watched the window roll down by itself.
