R34 Auto Window Switch Roll Down

[fyjosh]

Hello SAU

Car: r34 1999 4 door rb25de

Issue:

When I use the auto 'full up' switch on the drivers window, it will roll back down to 3/4 up 90% of the time.

Is this a safety feature for arms or stuff stuck in the window path when the auto up is triggered, and my window somehow thinks there is an obstruction? (there is no obstruction that I can see)

Is there any way to turn this off? (eg cut some of the wires?)

I have attempted to search this issue with no success.

Thanks in advance

I would be checking the action of the mechanism, and spraying some dry lube on the tracks to fix it. I doubt its as simple as a wire snip to fix it, because it relies on sensing excess current going to the motor.

thanks, I'll try greasing the tracks and anything else inside.

I don't want to lose the auto up / down feature, just the feature that rolls the window back down to 3/4 if possible.

I have the same issue.

I opened up the driver side door and looked inside the window cavity and noticed that my window is not rolling up straight. When i try to open my window using the auto feature when the door is open, the window goes crazy since there is no frame, and it opens all weird like it's going to fall out :\

I've noticed the rubber around my driver side door where the window hits is worn out too, and at one time was falling off. I kind of just pushed it back on.

I don't use the auto 'full up' switch anymore... but when i want to roll it up fully, i have to SLIDE the window back towards the rear of the car, then roll it up.

Yes, my window SLIDES :\

Not sure if this is the same issue as you, but if it's not, sorry to hijack the thread lol.

Haha thanks. 4doors have window frames, so it's not exactly the same issue but it could still be misaligned. I'll check that out, thanks for your input.

Turns out that what you said about the window coming up in an angle was EXACTLY the issue. I pulled / lifted my window and it has massive play up/down on one side, like its not bolted down to the rail. 20mm movement on one side so I assume this is the only problem.

Thanks!

glad you know what's wrong with it!

Do you by any chance know how to fix it? Or who to go to, to get it fixed?? I've been dealing with this problem for a while and it's kind of embarassing when i want to roll up my window, because I have to slide the window back haha.

haven't had time to pull off the door card and fix it. I assume the vibration caused the bolts to loosen, this has happened before in my crapshack S chassis cars.

I'll take a photo when it's all done and fixed to give you an idea what it all looks like. should be simple.

thanks again for the idea

Just an update,

I took my door card apart and found this at the bottom!

There's also a small hole in the bottom right corner of the window where i believe this part fits in. BUT I think there's more to this part than just putting it back in. Should there be a guide that slots into the guide rail inside? There is one on the left side of the window, So i'm just assuming it should be the same for the right. These are the only 2 parts I could find inside the actual door card though, so either the rest is lost, or can someone tell me how to put this back on??

for R32 to give you an idea

Thanks for the diagram.

I understand it's the window stopper, but to hold them together, is just a bolt, washer, and nut?

Ok, just an update.

I found the tracking mechanism was still inside the guide rail, but at the very bottom, So i didnt even realise on first inspection.

When i found it, i placed the 2 window guides back on (those 2 circle things i posted earlier), and it worked fine again and my window stopped sliding around!!!

BUT then today, the bloody window went nuts. I wound the window all the way down and back up to see if it was a 1-time thing... to notice my bloody tinting was scratched off!!!! I was NOT happy

Got home, took the door card apart and found out the guides had fallen off and the screw that held them in was scraping against the window (which caused the tint to rip off!!!)

I then realised i put the guides on wrong. The one with the thread should have gone on the side of the window closest to the outer panel of the car, not the one closest to the inside cabin of the car.

Now i need a new tint
