3rd gen rear window

[Big dog]

Merry Christmas to you all
I noticed my rear window was all the way down , thought someone had smashed it and broken in , when I checked I noticed the glass all intact , but problem is I can't get window to go back up , when I press the switch I hear a click , also rear wiper doesn't work now either , what would cause my window to fully open its self , and how can I get my window back up , can anyone please help many thanks

have you tried the
key in the back door
and yer wiper wont work
if window open

Thanks for reply , my surf is 3rd gen so no key in back door , I notice that it seems to be draining my battery , what would cause the window to go down on its own during the night

mines 3rd gen as well
the keyhole for the window is
in the numberplate light cover
easy missed
you have to hold it turned for it to work
turn to right for up an left for down

Yeah found it , still no luck

Where is the fuse location for the rear window defogger , if that's not working would that effect the window from working

[bryanisaoldgit]

fuses under bonet and in foot well
just a thought is year rear wiper
sat in its park possition if its not sometimes
nowt works on window sounds daft but its so

[Big dog]

Yeah checked that also still no joy , when I press the up button I can hear what sounds like the motor running but nothing happens

If it's similar to the 2nd gen, it might be the rubber drive disc. Have a look at the write up at http://daemon4x4.org/portal/articles.php?rid=0

Thanks will have a look tomorrow

Still no luck , when I press the rear window button on the dash up it makes a click sound , when I press down there is no noise , also when i press my rear defogger it doesn't light up but I can't seem to find a blown fuse , very frustrating , even if I could just close my window it wouldn't bother me if it didn't work after that at least the surf will be secure

sounds like one of the other guys said motor naffed
you will have to lift back door take off cover
and you should be able to get the window up
takes a bit of doing but it can be done
then you can take the motor off and fix it
at least you dont have to climb into the back
to do it on the 3rd gen but prop the door up
it dont stay that well with the window down

[Big dog]

I have taken cover of etc but still can't get window up , tried lifting it etc really frustrating , is there anything I need to do to get window up manually

[bryanisaoldgit]

on my old one i used a big
screwdriver and worked it up
one gog at a time slow but it
worked have fun

[Big dog]

Will give it a try tomorrow hopefully it will work
