V36 Sloppy Window Drop

[Justin370GT]

Hi just woundering if anyone can assist?

Iv had a 370gt coupe for about 6 months now with 60,000kms and have had an issue with the window drop.

The window drop works fine but is noisy and very harsh,as u open the door the window drops very fast and seems to be dropping a tad too far and wen it drops the whole door shakes and once in the car as it raises back up it makes a slight click sound.

I'm assuming it's the regulators,cable stretched or just worn out. ?

Hope someone can help

Reminds me of the plastic bearings on the old J30 Maxima regulators doing the same thing. Have you taken the door trim off to see if there's anything obvious to the eye?

Iv had the door trim off once to have a quick look and install some extra sound proofing but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary,mind u it's hard to see the important stuff involved with the regulators until u remove the pressed panel that it's all assembled on.

I mentioned it to Nissan yesterday while it was in for service but they seem to think it's normal,I'm nearly 99% sure it's not right lol.

I looked at a 370gt a few years ago while I still had my 350gt,which had a similar issue and that's the first thing I noticed was how much better,smoother and more refined the 370 was,I think it was a tad newer but the window drop was perfect only dropped like 10mm n was barely noticeable,none of this door shaking n noise garbage lol.

Iv really got a feeling it's the regulators that have flogged out.

I can't find anything on line about it either.

Do most Nissan regulators run plastic bearings?

I remember the upgraded Maxima ones were then changed to metal so perhaps not plastic these days.

All I can say is my '09 model doesn't act that way. It's a smooth small drop, a slight vibration can be felt in the door but nothing significant and then it comes back up with a gentle thud as all windows do. The only click I get is the sound of the relay.

Oh sweet thanks for the feedback,surely your 09 would have the same window regulators as an 07 cos I'd be keen to buy new regulators,possibly using the vin from your 09..

I might ring Nissan on Monday and get the exact part number on the regulators for my car and possibly they might know if it is the same for the 09,failing that I could quote the vin off your car as well n see if the part numbers line up the same.

I just jumped on eBay n I'm pretty sure they are the same,nothing is listed for the 370gt but plenty for g37 and all the second hand regulators state they fit from years 08-13.
