Just did the Sainsbury's run with the boss, got the shopping into the back of the truck. But when we got home the window wouldnt go down
. Have to say it's been sticking a bit for then last week or two, but I put it down to the amount of sh1t on the tailgate. It WOULD work on both the key and the switch, but needed a little help by pulling and pushing. But tonight ,nothing. I can hear the window motor running on both the switch and the key but the window remains closed, So a couple of questions spring to mind 1) how do I get it open so I can strip it down and try to fix it, and 2) what its the likely problem and will I need any bits to hand before I take it apart. Had one heck of a job getting the important bits of shopping out over the back seat, nearly dropped a bottle

Found what I think is the window motor...but cant see how the he11 it comes out without taking everything else out as well. No way would I ever work out how to put it all back again
So can anyone provide an idiots guide to taking out the motor and putting it back in again. At this stage I think that I can fix the problem with the motor ...if I can get it out. I know that somewhere there will be a thread with all the info I need but I just cant seem to find it. So I'm in need of a bit, OK a lot of education
anyone able to help?
When I got home avoided putting the shopping away by saying "I'm off to sort the back window out". Well the upshot is.... got the motor out dead easy. Opened it up and every thing looks fine, a bit full of $$$$ but nothing looks too worn or lose. So I reconnected it to the truck and tried the key to see if the motor worked, and it did. Sooooo, why wont the window work
Have to say every thing looks very dry with no trace of oil or anything on the workings in there or in the motor. May it just need a quick lube job and putting back together? I await pearls of wisdom with baited breath and have my headtorch and new batteries to hand, oh yes and a nice bottle of red breathing in the kitchen. If I can get this sorted tonight I may even get out to play in the hills tomorrow
