In Reply to: Rear window liner removal? posted by Thai Truong on November 28, 2000 at 11:10:18:
1) Remove rear seat - undo two screws under front lip & pull the seat out.
2) Undo the two screws that hold the armrest in place. You should have enough length of electrical cable that you can leave the window switch in place.
3) Lever off the panel. There should be lots of little plastic "grips" pushing though mounting holes - same as the front doors. The top of the panel slips under the timber panel, so it should just drop down.
On the subject of electric windows, I've never lost a motor on a 3.0. (Had one die on me in a 635 though) You might be able to save yourself some hassle if you look through the little hole in the trim panel. You should see the little white toothed wheel. When you activate your window, does this wheel twitch at all? If so, then it's only a stuck window. You might be able to free it by holding the switch in the 'down' position and giving the white wheel a push with your fingernail (get out of the way quick though, cause it'll take your skin right off). I think sometimes they jam, normally in the down position, if they've come down really hard. They're normally old, with a bit of wear, and sometimes this allows the teeth on the large rotor to just jam. If I'm running my windows down to their limit, I always stop just before the end & do the last half inch in little jabs.
If that white toothed wheel is turning, but the window is not moving, then probably the plastic teeth in the in the gearbox are stripped. Bummer. Then you'll have to remove the whole mechanism & replace the gearbox.
If the white wheel is not moving at all, with either switches, then you've got an electric motor or wiring problem. Bad luck.
And if the door window is dead too, then it's the fuse!! Don't laugh. The times I've wasted on electrical problems when a simple fuse replacement fixed it could be saved up & turned into very pleasant afternoon watching cricket! And I don't just mean blown fuses either - sometimes they look fine, but they stuff you anyway,
cheers,
Graeme
