newlupoowner Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) hii am just putting a question out there to the lupo elders of this world...my drivers side window doesnt go down with one press of the switch it goes so far like 5 inches or so at a time and then i have to release the switch and press it again and it also shakes quite a bit doing it would this mean a new motor is needed or the switch would need replacing?

mk2 Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Get some silicone spray lube, and spray the entire window channel, and go as low as you can inside the door. everything that makes contact with the glass. While doing that spray all the rubber seals around the car to improve the seals, which helps stop moisture getting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And squeaky seals too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoid Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 With your car locked, unlocked it and keep it in that position (key) and the windows will go down, observe the actions. If it's all good your motor is fine, if not then your switch is at fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newlupoowner Posted January 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 depends, does the drivers side switch work?yeah when you press that the window does come down but only 5inches at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 yeah when you press that the window does come down but only 5inches at a timeSounds like the motor is ok, but the whole glass guide system is really stiff. Lots of lube needed... Don't force it or try it too often til fixed or it might break the mech.Good idea using the door lock to activate the window motors... I wouldn't have thought of that!

Skezza Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 so right the next question is how the feck do you take the door card off and is that where everything is located its not somewhere ridiculous like the boot?For your electric window? Yes. Everything is in the door. Door card, flick the handle off using a flat head. There's a tiny gap on the back near the bottom. Feel around you'll find it. Two big Phillips heads then just pull the card off. You might break a few clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reedo Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 am i right in thinking they have the child safety things on the windows so when you put them up they stop half way then you have to carry on? or is this just a fault? ahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Just a fault Reedo. They stop if you let it run into you then it winds back a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
