Driver Side Window Gone Mental

Hey guys,

As the topic states, only noticing recently the window now shudders and goes wonky when you put the window down and when you wind her up it hits the top where it's meant to be and it goes down about 5 cm's

Not entirely sure but it could be the motor or something associated with it. Would most likely need to take the door off an examine but has anyone experienced this issue as well???

Looking forward to hearing responses :)

Many thanks.

Hey bud,

It could be the two bracket guide things that sit inline with the door trim to guide the window - sometimes the screws get loose and the window starts going up crooked and making really retarded noises :)

Look below for image showing which screws im talking about (for an R33 - your car should be similiar).

mY M35 did this a few weeks back,

did tough mudder and road there was bumpy as hell- made the two bolts holding the window track come loose and fall out- so a constant rattle was in the door-

pulled trim off and bolts fell out-

saw where they were meant to go- had to pry plate back into position and then rescrew.

before replacing trim, checked window movement and did go all the way up but then went down 5cm- found out this was due to the door trim not being on yet,

Once trim on work perfect and no rattle!!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
