Replacement of Window Lift Mechanism
The window lift mechanism comprises the motor, drive cable and guide channel assembly as a complete
unit. To remove the mechanism:
1. If possible, raise the window fully for optimum access.
2. Remove the door trim panel and disconnect the window switch. Peel off the plastic water shielding.
3. Release the window lift bracket from the door glass and secure the glass in the fully raised position taking
care not to damage the door waist seals in the top of the door shell.
4. Unplug the motor electrical connector. Release the three fixings securing the motor mounting bracket,
and the two remaining fixings securing the guide channel to the door shell.
5. Carefully manoeuvre the lift mechanism from the door.
6. Refit in reverse order to removal, noting that the motor mounting bracket is fixed directly against the door
shell, but that 4mm plastic spacers are used at each of the three guide rail fixings..
