Damn window regulators!!!

[Tom B]

The only other car they can come from is the Cordoba SX!

Take off your door card and have a look at the feet that the window sits on, on my drivers side one I was able to put a bolt into a hole in said foot and it all worked OK. The passenger side was not so good, the foot fell off the cable and wouldn't stay on, no matter what I tried.

They're easy to change its just that they're not cheap to replace and are a **** design.

I find the opposite, pain in the to change and cost about £5 from the scrappers. Then again it might be because mines a manual

yeh my passenger side ones gone for like a month now ...being trying to source one cant find it for under £50 second hand!! so i dont think its worth it,

so would a mk3 one fit for sure?

 

[Czechboy]

Well I took it apart (what a fecking pain that was, sliced my thumb apart while trying to undo the stupid window clamps) Seems that the actual motor and mechanism are OK, but the cable is completely and utterly fcked, twisted and snapped. So before I go spending £90 of my hard earned cash I will try and replace the steel cable with a new one or some kind of strong string

Is there a difference between the 3 door and 5 door regulators? Might know where there is a 3door in a scrappy, just mines a 5 door. Jon

 

[Tom B]

Yep, they're completely different.

 

[Czechboy]

Might know where there is a 3door in a scrappy

Where abouts would that be please

 

[thewiizard]

lol amazing, my passenger window started doing the exact same thing last month...

Good to know i'm not the only one

 

[Boi Ninja]

Where abouts would that be please

247spares.co.uk ...they do the searching so u dnt have to.

The car I was talking about didn't have leccy windows. Got me a one for my 4 door though for £15. If I see another on my travels I'll pull it out for someone. Jon

well mine dont work , the motor goes , the bits move up and down ( but one of them keeps falling off) that any good to ya ?

 

[Czechboy]

I think you might have a similar problem to me, so probably not.

Well the problem with mine is that the steel cable had snapped (how, I'll never know??). So all I need to do is replace the cable. Problem is you can't buy just the cable from SEAT because you need to have some little metal bits crimped on, but they need to be crimped on only once the wire is running through the mechanism. I'm just about to go to B&Q to get some steel wire to see if I could replicate it.

p.s. I would of never imagined that there are 3.5 meters of wire in the stupid mechanism

 

[Czechboy]

This is what mine looks like. Where the arrow points you can see that the wire is twisted and snapped:

Thats what happened to mine yeah. I was thinking of repairing it, but looks like a pain in the arse to thread the wire through. Made sure I got pleanty of oil into the new one. Oh, and the motor doesnt come off.

 

[sunderwood]

Ah, i think this may be what has gone wrong with mine, it'll go down fine but when i press up it will go a bit but the seals on both sides of the window on the vertical bit are gripping it so tightly that it wont move, then when i press down they let go. it was caused when someone slammed my door with the window down.

is this the same thing or is it something different and cheaper to fix? (hopefully)

 

[ibiza_95]

^^^
yours sounds like my mates, when the windows down and you slam the door the window pops off one of the runners, and then it wont go up but it will come down... itll go up if you help it...

take the door card off and have a look. i suspect its that

 

[Czechboy]

MK3 Ibiza will be the closest the rest will be too short.

does that mean the mk3 electric window mechanism will fit and work properly??

Thanks

I think its a case of someone going to have to try it and then tell us all.
