So i put the new regulator into the car and mounted it all up...was looking great. Then i hit the "down button", and it started to go down...got about an inch and 1/2 down and stopped. It doesnt look like anything is stopping it from going down either. The windo is nice a flush when its all the way up too. Anybody have any suggestions?

 

anybody?


i have a feeling when i remounted the spring on the regulator i may have mounted it the wrong way..anybody have a pic of the spring on the regulator?

 

Will this get you close?

 

yes thank you lol ok so i got the spring mounted the right way...

the what the hell could be stopping it

 

This is probably what you don't want to hear. http://www.p71interceptor.com/thirdgen/powerwindows

"Do not confuse the drivers side and passengers side regulators, they look very similar but each is unique. During the swap, I somehow managed to confuse the two and had symptoms of the window only having a travel range from the fully rolled up position to a few inches below the fully rolled up position. Window would not even come close to being fully open."

 

hmm oops..must have mounted the spring wrong then lol, no biggy, i looked at the passanger side and the spring is mounted differently..the drivers is upside down, the passangers is right side up.

 

Is that your original regulator or did you get a replacement? I ask because they may have given you the wrong side.

 

yea its the original driver side one..just mounted the spring wrong when i was putting it back under tension...oops
