Power window question...
I tried searching and did not find the answer -
The car is a '83, drivers window only goes down half way - then sounds like the half moon gear is stripped. Lots of mechanical clicking, and I can't force the window down as it's happening. It does go up and when it gets to the top - same mechanical clicking. I had the door apart, but could only lift the door panel up as I could not unfasten the top clips because of the window not going down all of the way.
Could something be out of adjustment? I do have a new regulator motor to put in, but I'm not sure that is the issue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Power window question...
Do you only have the motor? Or do you have the whole regulator? It's probably the regulator that's going bad.

Re: Power window question...
I have the whole regulator. It works fine until it gets halfway down - then sounds like the gears are not meshing. And when it gets to the top - the motor wants to continue running...causing the gear to skip over the teeth.
