Hey guys,
I have a great new problem! I'll build it up real quick, so you know how this happened. Several years ago, my car was keyed. I brought it to an unnamed body shop near my house, where they kept the car for awhile and did a generally really terrible job. One of the things they did, which I didn't notice till later, was that when you closed the rear driver's side door, it rattled.
Well a few weeks ago, I had someone in my car who isn't used to closing doors by not slamming them. And that's just how quickly it happened: it seems the window came off of its rail.
Now, the motor seems to work; it can pull the window down just fine, it just can't pull it back up (though you can hear it working). I have a feeling everything is functioning (though I might be wrong), and something just rattled its way out of place when the door slammed. Now when I go over bumps (and I live in St. Louis, so there are plenty of those), my window goes down, inch by inch. After a 15 minute drive, it is as far down as it can go. I have to manually pull the window back up every time I get out of the car.
Anybody disassemble this rear door before? I have a guide on how to do it, and I have all the right tools, but I'd like to know if you guys have done it, how hard it is to do, and really if I should get in there and replace the regulator/motor as well.
