Driver side power window Options

[recniabsal]

So my window won't roll up. Its been like that since about December. I know huh. Lol. So my dad and I have taken a look at it. And he thinks its the cable thats been stripped. Either way I ordered the power motor and the cable was NOT included and so I'm gonna order that and replace the whole thing just to make sure the whole problem is solved for years to come.

The problem is getting to the motor and getting it out. It looks like a good 5 hour or so job. And we can't figure out if the white metal plate covering the interior even comes off or if we are supposed to just take off those bolts and pull the motor and window out through the holes in the plate. Has anybody ever done this before? I just need to know if we are able to take the plate off or not, how long a process, and where's a good place to buy the cable and how much? Autozone? Online? All that good stuff. Thanks.

My passenger window wouldn't go down, but it's fine now. So opposite of your problem, although mine fixed itself.

So did you have to ghetto-block the window with plastic while it wouldn't go up?
