Cool, will do. Cheers

Hi SUPRAWOOKIE Did you ever manage to resolve this? Since the weather has been colder mine is doing exactly the same. Cheers, Crab

Have you considered refurbing yours? Very cheap and if you take your time is fairly straight forward.... http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/97721-window-motor-fix-brush-replacement/

Ooops.... Ok so what software do you use?

Looks cool. What software do you use to design the parts or did you download a model?

I agree that definitely would be interesting

cheers, ill give it a go next time

Cheers how do you do it?

sorry, I couldn't work out how to embed but.... http://youtu.be/FhJmwK6wkF4 Haha

Sorry for the triple post

Buy new brushes for the motor for £2 and replace them. Plenty of write up and videos how' to's. I did mine the other day and it works perfectly again. Happy to offer advice if you're local?

Haha, no problem. Is kind of tricky when your driving though. You can also hold the up button whilst shutting the door as this gets the window going and also because the door is then closed doesn't stop at the short drop position.

I just recently replaced the brushes. Having tried generally cleaning the motor and greasing the regulator the brushes was the thing that fixed it for me. If they are worn down that's your problem.

Photo bucket and edit your first post?

Good work interested to see the how to. Stick it in the guides section : thumbs:

Chertsey, just off M25. Fairly local

4x4x10mm which is about right Although it was the tails that weren't perfect. Not quite long enough so I had to solder them onto the original tails instead of removing them entirely. Also I think they should really come out the side like the oem ones. The one in the link come out the end if that makes sense?

Hi all, About 2 years ago I followed this guide when my passenger window packed up: http://www.350z-uk.c...ic-windows-pdf/ I took the whole lot apart, cleaned the motor and greased the rails. It worked great for about a week then stopped again and since then I have used the 'smack the door near the handle' technique if I needed it to put it up or down. I read that its the brushes that probably needed replacing and finally set about to get it sorted rather that forking out £125 for a new motor. I found these brushes for £1.98 delivered and they were good enough with a little bit of sanding to the correct length although I think that the wire tails really need to come out of the side, not the end of the brush. http://pages.ebay.co...3266348&alt=web There are plenty of how to's around (Can't add link for the good one I used but search for "The dreaded 350Z window winder motor issue strikes again") but this is very helpful to watch it being done: The most difficult bit is the de-soldering but keep going long enough and you get there. Also the lower adjuster screw's for the regulator were a bit tricky to get off and got damaged so I had to make some new ones from a short length of threaded bar and some washers. All in all though I'm really chuffed with the end result - a fully working window with short drop and everything As the how to info that's already available is pretty good I haven't done another but I'm happy to help out any one who wants to attempt this themselves. Although it's fiddly it is relatively straight forward once you get going. Cheers, Crab

I use this http://www.petrolprices.com They send with emails as well but I always end up just going to wherever is closest when I need it. Never make that much difference really

I think you though I was done crazy guy in a legacy in my scruffs

Hi, oh yes. Black rose soft top.... I haven't actually spoken to the lady who owns it. Don't think she's on here. I was eying up your car for a forum sticker we'll Have to pop out and say hi to each other at some point.
