Dave-350 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 Both sides. Providing this is what is stopping my windows going up and down as they should! Quote
Mopedmark Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 It will be, do a refurb job, it's not difficult and it will save you loads df money there is a really good how to, just have a search Quote
Mark350zShaw Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 I also need drivers side motor. Not sure if I would be any good at refurbing. Quote
Spatt Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 i have a fault with my drivers side at the moment. If i put the window all the way down it doesn't go up unless i bang the door. It's like its sticking or something? Quote
Dave-350 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 Yea both mine do this, it's the motor. I've been banging the doors on mine for about a year. Banging it knocks the motor in to play. I dare say it's easy to clean them out but ill just buy new ones... Saves me doing it again in a year. Quote
ZEUS Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I have to bang my door too, it's the motors. Strangely mine only play up in the winter and work fine in summer! Quote
Spatt Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 ah this is good news for me.... i did think at one point that the glass had come out from the runners, someone did say if that was the case it would be all floppy inside the door and wouldn't go up at all which is true so must be motor fault. How do you clean the motors up so it works?? take it i cant just spray WD40 all over it haha!! Quote
Neoncypher Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I used this guide when I did mine: http://my350z.com/forum/maintenance-and-repair/361241-how-to-repair-stuck-broken-window-motor.html Tried cleaning them first (taking motor apart and spraying liberally with electrical contact cleaner) - that worked for about 2 weeks then it died again. I bought a used replacement motor on here and that lasted a month or two, then that went. Ended up having to rebuild the motor with new motor brushes. It wasn't the quickest or easiest job, and I'd also never really done anything like it before. Took a few tries to get the thing working, but eventually got it sorted and it works fine 6 months on. Saved a fair bit of coin given that the cheapest reconditioned window motor I could find on here was around £120 - and official new nissan ones are approximately £3 million (ok, maybe more like £300+, but still). Ended up costing me £10 for about 20 motor brushes (you only need two but I bought more just incase), £5 for a cheap soldering iron, and some of my time. Hope this helps mate Quote
Spatt Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 going to have a crack at this over the weekend (if its dry) i think i'll do it over a couple of days as removing the door card alone scares the hell out of me Quote
