Re: [tech] Power Windows

[Wojciech Galecki <galecki@umr.edu>]

Sal-
	I had a similar problem. I don't know if you've ever had the power
window regulator apart, but inside there is a worm gear with three teeth
that engages the spool that winds the cable. The teeth eventually shear off
and the gear has no way to transfer power to the cable spool. Sounds like
what may be happening to you.
	I've fixed this problem twice (different regulators) and I hope to
put together a tech procedure for scirocco.org in the coming months. If you
open up the regulator, you should be able to see if you have the prob. I'm
talking about. Let me know if you have questions. The cure is took get
another (cheap) regulator unit from a junkyard and transfer the gear over
to yours.
