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.

POST 1Original post

double bad luck last week. l lowered my driver's side window as usual and heard a loud clang and various rattling noises coming from within the door. glass was already down and couldnt go back up. on the way back home, heard a crack sound on the front screen and when got home car looked fine. In the light of day, noticed a 4-5 inch crack along the front windscreen. a day later the crack grew another 3 inches. lucky my sales advisor recommended windscreen insurance cover. Window problem was traced to a faulty window regulator mechanism (the white plastic piece broke and damaged the cable - also holds the springs and winder/cable mechanism). The regulator is replaced as one set. here is a picture of the damaged unit. cost around 500USD to replace including labour and installation. Found a windscreen panel workshop to replace the screen as the crack had gone through the first layer. the antenna connector cable to the screen is in the front lower right corner of the screen (right hand drive model) in case anyone is looking for it see the white clip and cable - which requires removal of the side pillar trim. Had to redo the 3M tint too.

POST 2Original post

not feeling the love today i havent found any threads on similar regulator failures. is there any maintenance required?

POST 3Original post

the regulator with out the motor is about 210 us dollars. think you got off easy on the labor charges.. Lemon

POST 4Original post

thanks Lemon, it did seem to take a lot of time to remove the door outer panel, inner panel, airbag, wiring harness, window glass, motor and adjust the window glass, reassemble it all back. does anyone if LHD models have the windscreen antennae on the driver's side or on the right hand side as well?

POST 5Original post

Reviving an old thread - but just a few weeks ago had the "pleasure" of changing the 2nd window regulator for the driver side. Symptoms: windows started to stop halfway/before completing when using auto down/up function. later it developed a cracking noise that happened at some window positions during operation. Quite worrying since you never know when its going to jam halfway or when opening/closing the door....especially with tropical rainstorms that can happen regularly. This time it broke on another side (marked in yellow circle) vs. the orginal unit which broke near the V shaped plastic. I would have thought that the premium brand would have longer lasting regulators compared to some "entry" level cars. I use my car regularly and need to use the windows for parking and garage access but dont think the use is excessive. anyone else experience something similar?
