Default driver side window wont roll

my window cant roll up or down anymore...and when i drive the window seems to be sliding down,then i would have to push it up with my hands when i park....anyone know what it could be? i took the panels out and couldnt see ANYTHING because it was behind the metal plate....im thinking the gears its messed up....anyone have any clue?

Do you have electric windows or manual? Pop off your door panel and you will see how it works if you have a manual crank. Grease up the metal tracks as well

Sounds like a regulator to me. Probably busted some teeth.

Do you got manual or electric? Take off the inner panel and the sound/weather dampening. Look behind there.

you can look in ebay... one side of window regulator should run you about $15-30 shipped or your junkyard.... it rans about $15-25.... make sure you ask the price first before pulling stuff out.... cuz some of those j-yards are so ******* overpriced... im like WTF

to see if the regulater works you have to take off the door panels then take out the window. now you should be able to look down through the top were the window would be. Its better this way cause you still have the regulater on the door and you could see what it is doing when you crack it. if you dont take out the window then theirs no way you can see it cause it is bolted on behind the metal panel.

Two things you can try:

1. Remove the door panel and roll the window about 3/4ths of the way down. Then you should be able to look through the holes on the inside of the door to see if the window is still bolted to the regulator. Also, check to see if one of the mounts has come unglued from the glass.

2. Make sure the window is still in the rubber tracks at the front and rear of the door.

well i checked again today...im not sure what the regulator is but ill jus explain what i saw....

the metal slider that was holding the window is still attached..
when i roll the handle there's no response,so i stook a finger behind it where the threads are. i feel a little circular things spinning BUT it does not seem to be connected to the "teeths" that should be moving the window..

just take the thing out. Just unbolt the window from the rail that it is on. there should be two bolts. make sure you hold the glass cause if you unbolt it from the rail and dont hold it, it could fall and brake.

Ones you unbolt it, tip the front of the window down so you can slide it out.

next you unbolt the regulator from were you crank it. there should be four bolts around the crank (thier under the plastic). theres two more bolts to the right of the crank if its on the passenger side (to the left of the crank if its on the driver side)(their also under the plastic) If you look through the top you can see were there at.

once you unbolt the six bolts there should be nothing holding it on. just fold all the rails so that you could be able to take it out through the bottom most bigest hole. its kind of tricky so just work it untill you get it out.

there you go. to put it back on just work backwards.
