Today when I got in my car to leave from work, I always put all the windows down to let the hot air escape. When I did it this time, the driver side window wouldn't go down. All it did was click. I called my wife like a usually do when I'm on my way home, and told her what had happened. Just when you think you building a money pillow something always happens; it's Murphy's Law. I called the dealer while on my way home. They quoted me $375 to put in a new motor for the power window. $375!!!:lolcina:
I wouldn't care so much if it were the other window. I always see people opening their doors at the drive thru, and always think how thug it is and now I have to do the same.
I was determined to fix it myself and how hard could it be. Well, it wasn't hard. All the newer vehicles these days have everything that snaps on. Too easy. I just snapped off the door skins and took out 2 screws, and it was obvious what was the motor. Took it out and swapped it from the passenger rear side door. I even reinstalled the the broken motor in the rear passenger side window just show the window would come lose and go down on it's own.
I turned the car on to see if I fixed it, and presto. The driver side window went down. Awesome. I was scared to put down the rear passenger side window. Wasn't sure if it was going to fall into the door. I was too tempted so I pushed the button, and too my surprise it went down as well. Sweet. All fixed and I did it myself. Now I can go buy a $375 rep.
