350Gt Power Window Problem?

Hey there guys I've recently have this window problem just wondering if any of you guys have faced a similar issue and know how do i fix this. It started when my door actuators died so I brought my car to a car electrical shop. They tested popped up the bonnet and connected a lead to test the wiring system under the steering and inside of the door trim. after testing they said my alarm module might have died or something and my actuator's dead. (I've already told them in the first place that the actuators dead and thought they might have a universal one and mod it into my car). so i've never heard from my mechanic that my module was dead before so i said ok. they screwed back my door trim and i drove back home. half way out of the shop i noticed my power window (driver side) does not go up automatically. it only goes up manually. and when either door (passenger/driver) is opened, the window drops down like 1/4. I'm not sure what caused this and any advise would be great.

on a side note i brought my car to my mechanic and they tried the "reset" method after doing some research on the net and it still didn't work. window still drops when the door is open and stays there when closed.

i was pretty pissed as i paid 90$ to the so called electricians to "diagnose" my car's problem to get the windows not working. now I'm lost on what to do next. any advise?

Get the credit card out and bend over. That's not going to be a cheap exercise. Both door looks and both window motors need doing on top of the stereo you asked me about. Get ready to shell out $2k .

If it gets stuck down and you want it to go up. Open the door and while holding the Window switch up close the door with a bit of force (don't slam it) and that should do it.

Works everything for me.

The motors and regs in these doors are common fault. Reg + motors new from Nissan are about 800 for the both per door (give or take I bit)

      Hmm makes things tricky then.  I can't in good faith say, go forth my child and weld in whatever metal you remove in your quest for rust. I very strongly expect that adventure will end in sadness.  But you can't leave the car as it is, you literally have a hole in the roof. Also, I know you think the rust doesn't go much further, but the more I look at those photos, I really think the rust does in fact go much much further.  If you are 100% committed to being the only person working on the car.... stop where you are, hit it with rust converter, fiberglass, body filler, paint work, pretend you never discovered the rust in the first place?  Even if the body was repaired, painting the roof is a pain. Were you planning to use rattle cans to paint the roof?

      Ok so I will not defend my naivety. I regularly feel like things look easier than they are.  As much as I'd love to, buying another vehicle is out of the question. It was hard to get this car through the family process and we just don't have the room.

      If your current chain of thought is, I'll go somewhere like pick and payless (or equivalent) and causally remove the bit of roof with your BYO grinder then casually weld that into your car... oof. It might sound easy but you will 100% end up with a warped roof. You say you'd prefer some ugly fab work, but I don't know if your prepared for how ugly this will be lol.  I've seen professional welders do similar but easier repairs and still end up with warped panels.  It is reasonable to assume that from your current skill level, you won't be able to do this cut and paste job while keeping flat panels.  Ok, but we are here to learn. This might be the go... jump on car sales, sort by price, buy the cheapest thing with rego and drive it home. This is your new practice vehicle. If you're thinking of doing the cut and paste job, try it on this car. Cut out the panel (hey it's a perfect fit) weld in the panel. See what you think of the results.  Next thing you could try, practice removing the entire roof in one piece by drilling out all the spot welds etc. Have a crack and welding the roof back on.

      I've never welded but I own a welder and I've always wanted to learn. In fact I had already looked at a 1 day welding course in Sydney.  I'd prefer some ugly metal fab than anything weak.  I'm challenging myself a lot with this car. For so many years I've just paid other people to do things and I've always been keen to learn and get better.

      Ok, thats a good starting point.  So before we start.... do you mind if the car say isn't a strong as it was before? My first thought is go excavating for rust. You'll be left with a gaping hole, that will be filled with fiberglass. You could make it look factory pretty easily but yeah, if you never crash it will never be an issue right? Before we look at other options, how confident are you welding?
