OP:your regulator is going out. Get another one.


Which aftermarket brand did you used? I got mine from deutschautoparts (sp?) and it did NOT fit well with the motor.

I just fitted Pass side one off eBay from dependableautoparts .
$100.00
Fitted no problem , just marked the position of the old one with pen where it bolts down and installed to the same position .

Now the drivers side has started with "the groan of death"

That's ANOTHER 10 minutes work I have to do on the godforsaken car !!

No window grinding

My window not auto adjusting with opening or closing. Is the regulator the issue only if there is grinding? Cause my window isn't grinding - it's working just fine up and down. Could be a fuse? Need help.

Scott - That is likely a switch on your door latch. Search Pelikan. I have the same issue...but I rarely drive my car with the top up. This winter I plan on either replacing the latch or researching further on how to just replace the switch. (if possible).

Definitely not the regulator.
