Well had someone come look at the vert today, when he went to roll the window up it wouldn't go, at first i figured it was the regulator, but it doesn't appear to wobbling in the track too much. I think the cable that runs it up and down is binding, anyone ever replaced this? Motor replacement required as well?

it goes down but not up, but when its your switch the motor wont click on at all right? or does it?



I am in the process of training a mouse to use pliers so it can be fixed with ease.

You think that's bad? Puh-lease. I was on my way home in the GXL the day before I sold it, and it started POURING. so I went to roll up my driver's side window but accidentally hit the passenger side window switch, that didn't even work, and the ******* thing rolled halfway down!!! So I rolled up the driver's window and was trying to make the stupid passenger side window go back up so it wouldn't rain on my interior, and I got the bright idea to push the switch down. What does the supposed broken power window do? Rolls down more, o'course! So I drove for friggin' 5 miles holding BOTH switches up while cruising at 45 and finally the friggin passenger side window goes up like brand new...I guess I found it was the switch, but damn my luck is horrible
