Another Window Problem

Postby deano469 » Thu Mar 22, 2012 7:14 am

Last night i opened the drivers side window and about half way down it stopped on its own, after that the switch didn't work for either the drivers or the passenger side. I left it for about 10 mins and tried it again and the windows worked again, has anybody got any idea what could be causing this?

Corrosion on the window regulator - do a search, this is very common. There are inexpensive fixes.

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

Cheers for the advice Dave, stripped the door card off this afternoon and it seems pretty dry in there. Inspected the plug and took the rectifier off the motor and no signs of corrosion either. Have assembled it all back together with grease on all the plugs so will see if it happens again next time it rains or I wash the car.

Great to see you have found the problem. Tip: do not power-wash the window seals!

Those doors are a bitch to strip - you must be more mechanically minded than me!

I was an airframe technician on tornado and harrier in the RAF for 12 years so know pretty capable with a set of spanners :-) The instructions you posted were a great help as well.
