Window Motor Parts (w/Pics)
Hey All
I'd been having some trouble with my '94 driver side window recently. It would snag at certain points going up (sometimes down as well) and make a nice loud, buzzing noise.
Took apart the door panel thinking it may be a track issue, as the window had been a bit wobbly. Tracks all looked fine, nothing loose, plenty of grease, etc...
Test the window, while giving it assistance up and the motor finally has enough.
Greatit's dead. Or so I thought.
I remove the whole assembly, take the motor off and run it on it's own. Works fine rolling down, but going up it stops at a certain point. I move the little sprocket and it works...until it rotates about 3/4 turn then stops.
I pull the gray cover off the motor assembly
I remove the gear assembly
Apparently the screw mechanism had chewed into the plastic gear.
So...now what to do? Can I replace this part? Do I have to spend $300 to replace the entire motor assembly for what amounts to a broken piece of plastic??
I called my local Toyota parts dealer and they were of little help (as usual).
Anybody out there with a blown window motor want to send me this piece? I'll pay shipping and toss in a few $$ for the effort.
Thanks
Mitchell
