Good advise - you never want to break your rubber! 😁 Those are my favorite kind of fixes - no money spent, and no driving to the parts store. That's a win-win! Good job getting her moving again. 👍👍

[@CubasAutomotive]

Yes! I have found that just cleaning up the old motors and regrease everything works a lot better than replacing with the aftermarket junk. I've opened up motors that have lasted at least 3 years and still going. Gotta love NO PARTS NEEDED! 😂😂😂

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@CubasAutomotive - Nice, Cuba - good to know! Thanks! 👍🍻

Yeah man, breaking that rubber can be emotional. Thanks for the classic hanger you mailed me. I got a big kick out of that one and so have a few friends I showed it to!!

[@carold.7907]

There are a few reasons why a power window stops working and i hate the fact that you can take it to a garage and get ripped off telling you its one thing when it was just a minor repair. Thats why i like to watch you tube videos and get informed prior. Ive replaced a power window switch myself before but never the motor. I'll leave that to my mechanic guy. Thanks so much for the clear instructions it helps so much!

A few years ago a friend of mine had a Ford Windstar that was nearing it's end of life. He called me one day and told me his drivers power window wouldn't work. I went over to his house and hit the bottom of the door with the side of my clenched fist while pushing the button. The window worked perfectly. A few days later i asked him if the window was still working. He said, somewhat. When i asked him what he meant he said that his foot was getting sore because now he had to kick the door to get it to work. 😁 A couple of days after that i gave him a lift home from the crusher. Problem solved! Nice job, Glen.

[@RobertPerrigoOkiechopper]

Coming from a 50 yr. experience Auto tech, now retired , when a motor like a rt. rear window motor sets unused for a while in dusty and damp and hot conditions the result can be the brushes tend to really to stick to the commutator almost like being tacked to it. In most cases the right rear motor is less used. Been there 100's of times.

Experience matters a lot. Thanks for your comment.

That's a good thought, to use tuck tape when putting the vapor barrier back on. I found the OEM sticky putty at an automotive paint shop, but it's expensive for what it is. Now I have enough for hundreds of vehicles, ha ha.

Hello, great video. I am facing issue with my rear left side power window. When I use driver side master switch, it will come down but not up. Rear switch is working fine though. Problem is not with the driver side switch, as I checked it by replacing with other. What do you think?

[@ozzstars_cars]

Have you checked for a broken wire or corrosion in the circuit? A wiring diagram will be helpful to find the problem.

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Great job Glen! Nice to be able to fix and not replace ☺️ I have a door lock actuator on the blink but it's a curse to get to and it's not serviceable as far as I know. I can hear the clunk but it's not moving. Probably has something to do with my mom slamming the door on the seatbelt 🤔😂

[@ozzstars_cars]

It should be on the same circuit but confirm with a wiring diagram. Use a test light at the drivers door to see if there is power AND ground. If there is then you can test the motor and switch. Wires can break where the door hinges are so keep that in mind. Good luck
