elect windows help please

[johnnebgood]

my gti drivers window has stopped working [jammed in the up position] the motor appears to want to wind the window up .

the window is stuck in the up position i have removed the side panels and several 8mm fixing bolts to the motor\window assy.

but i can see how you get at the motor very fiddly .i have tried swapping the switches ,so i no the switches are good.

what i need to do i think is to reverse the motor manually .its under tension now and i cant get the bolt back in to place any thoughts appreciate any help. was wondering if any of you guys had worked on the window motors etc thanks johnny

lucky really that the window is in the up position.

I was going to suggest what you've tried, slackening off the mounting bolts. My passenger window jammed up, the switch was working cos I could hear it clicking. I loosened off the bolts and that got the window movibg. I bolted it back up and now and again it would still jam up, so I sprayed the rubbers with loads of silicon spray which has cured the problem so far. Have you slackened/removed all the bolts?

Check the wiring from the cars A post to door.

Check that the window lifter is still clampped to the window . Clamps can snap off lifter.

To remove motor and lifter undo clamps off window then the bolts for the lifter/runners. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

it did stick a week a go .but that time freeed it self .my problem is now as i have removed all the motor fixings .5 off 8mm bolts

i have driven up the the window .now i can get all the bolts back in .how is the window attached to the mechanism.

is it clamped\glued .thanks for the advise so far guys. i don't want to take it to a vw dealer if possible due to cost .

good idea the silicone spray might do the trick if i can get those pesky bolts back in style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" />

suspect these guys change bits not really knowing what they are doing.if i had the wiring diagram i sure i could have fixed it.
