It was the "lifter" that was knackered as it had almost rotted thru with rust.

Sounds like you might need a new motor, given that you have tried the lubricating trick.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My passenger window keeps dropping out of its lifter when i lower the window, has anyone else had this problem? I have tried lubricating the guides, which was fine for a while, but now i can't lower the window without pushing it down at the same time. I can't see anything wrong with it when i've had it in pieces, and there is very little resistance between the glass and the guides, should i buy new ones? Waz '80 911SC Migration info.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The motors fine, but i have to push down on the window to make sure the glass doesn't get left behind by the lifter. I think there's too much resistance between the glass and the guides. Should the lifter grip the bottom of the glass, i'm thinking as its corroded its not a tight enough fit to hold it in place. I'll investigate futher the next dry weekend....... Waz Migration info.

POST 4Original post

I had this on an SC once a few years ago. It was the "lifter" that was knackered as it had almost rotted thru with rust. Replaced it and all was ok. Try http://www.douglasvalley.co.uk/ if you need new parts. Migration info. Legacy thread was 10706
