Am unsure whether this is exactly the proper place to post this question up.....

for those who know how the power window mechanism works....wut has happened is, the bar that is in the shape of a X, the lower part is connected to a horizontal rod with bearings(the horizontal rod is attached to the window), it has poped out of this horizontal rod, and the X bar am referin to has bent.....my main problem is am finding it hard to access this area.....

Can anyone please give me some insight into how to access this area, so that i can straighten out this X bar?

Thankyou in advance.

Your in luck, I just got rid of an annoying clacking sound in both my windows and did a photo step by step of how to get to the bolts and tighten them. You will want to remove these bolts and as you can see in the diagram there are washers each side to remove as well. To get to them you have to wind the window down, when you get them, wind it up to get the next one and up again, put your finger on the back to stop the bolt spinning. Remove the glass then undo the winder bolts, I dont know if it is better wound up or down to remove from door but you get the idea.

Others on here might not of removed door covers before so I added all the steps for right and left. for the right, the control panel has a clip in the centre that goes in the hole in the rusty clip, the door release handle surround has clip points on the thin side, top and bottom and pulls out as well. The left side needs the window control pulled out to accces screw deep inside and a panel below that to access the other screw. Once that is done remove 3 screws along the bottom and gently unclip panel around edges, lift the panel to remove from door as it is hooked along the top over door frame.

window2.bmpR33S2, thank you for your response. certain things are unclear to me, but since you put up pics, I can now explain clearly what has gone wrong and clear some doubts.

I have marked in the picture the ends of the X-bar and marked which one has bent. I could not get access to it to straighten it out. My question to you is whether this X-bar comes off when you remove the winder retainers that you have marked.

on another note, the ends of these X-bars are attached to a horizontal bar which is inturn attached to the actual window. it is clipped into two white bushes which are on the horizontal bar, any idea where i could get them, as both of them have cracked, so the ends of the X-bar keeps popping out of them.

Thank you in advance....

Your pic link isnt working.

The whole thing comes out of the door, first undo the glass and remove it then undo the winder and remove that, then you can work on it.

In my experience once the winder parts have bent or broken it is easier to replace the whole thing, because I have usually had to buy the whole thing to get parts for it. lol you may get away with a Xpeice from a non electrical one.

i have no idea how to get the pics as thumbnails, like how u have done it.....but still, my questions have been answered.....ha ha....

now its gettin down to it.....i'll probably start over the weekend, n if i run into any problems, u will surely receive a PM from me....lol....

thanks again mate :P

No problems, to add pics click the 'add into post' after the upload.

If your buying from a wrecker take the old one with you, just hope it doesnt rain :)

i tried that to add the pics, but did not work..... :D

goin to a wreckers is generally a sickning experience.....ha ha..... :

    • To plug the hole. The engine plant may not have known whether the car it was going into had a gauge or not. It was a long time ago and the integrations might not have been fully modern. Or they might not have cared because the extra inventory and processes to save a few cents on the sender might have cost more anyway. But please tell me you are not still confusing the idea of a pressure gauge sender, and an oil pressure light switch. The switch will be out there. In a separate hole. Probably with only one wire running to it. Running the light.
    • Blower needs to go low on the exhaust side, displacing the AC and PS, which you have to decide whether you want to keep and how and where to relocate if you do. Electric option for PS is, at least, helpful. Sadly, there is no workable 12V electric AC of any value. Whilst the blower is the last compression step before the throttle, and so it might seem a good idea to have it near the inlet manifold (as mentioned above), you probably want it to go through an intercooler first, so, having it on the opposite side of the car facilitates that air flow path. The turbo discharges into the blower, so proximity of the turbo's compressor outlet to the blower's inlet is nice. But then you might want to intercool that too, before boosting it again....which would probably be a ball ache. Routing pipes out to the front and back could be a bit shit. If there was room for (at least) a small (but preferably larger) water to air core on that side, then that would probably be the best approach. I guess a reasonable alternative would be to locate the blower where the alternator is (more or less, associated with the inlet manifold, per Matt's thought), and somehow incorporate a water to air core into the manifold, sort of like they do for modern blown V8s. The big difference here though is that those V8s have only the one throttle (upstream the blower) and only the one compression step (the blower) and no need for too much in the way of bypass/blowoff valves. Whereas in a twin charged 6, you do need to think about one or two bypass valves associated with the 2 compressors and you would prefer to have the intercooling done before the air has to pass through the throttle. You'd like the throttle to work approx the same no matter what the compression is doing. But if it is located in hot air stream before a cooler, then sometimes the air will be real hot, sometimes it will be quite cool, and the throttle mapping/response will be quite different between those two cases. The throttle, if sized for hot air, would be too large for cold conditions. It's all a ball ache.
    • Package SC on exhaust side. Remote mount turbo. Still a fair bit of room when you get creative on the inlet side of the motor too. Especially if you can get really creative with the welding, and effectively build it into the bottom of the inlet manifold. Would definitely take some design work, and some trial and error, to make sure flow works well still! Might be easier to just start with the Nissan March though... All the work is already done for you...
    • I'll sit down and get a post together 😁
    • The factory oil pressure sender is no longer in the car that's what is confusing me. In the Taarks adapter I have an aftermarket Bosch style pressure/temp sender and the factory temp sender only. Oil pressure is perfect. Where does the factory oil temp sender go to if there were never any gauges? Why was it there from the factory?
