How to fix window "wind-up thingy"??!
-
04-09-2006 9:08am#1No doupt there is a proper name for the thing you wind up and down the window with but I don't know it.
Anyway, it's been stiff for a while and today something made a dull snap and now it doesn't work anymore.
Window stuck half open so any tips on fixing it? Is it huge hassle to dismantle the door or should I just head to a garage?
It's a '96 Maxda 626 BTW,.0

Sounds like the cable in the mechanism has snapped. Most likely you will need a new window regulator. You could maybe try a scrapyard first as I imagine it will cost a small fortune from a Mazda dealer. I've never dismantled a 626 door so I don't know how difficult it is but I reckon it should be relatively easy.
In the meantime, remove the interior door trim. Get the window up and use a piece of timber or similar to jam the window up until you sort it out.
