Hi

My drivwers electric window kept making a funny noise when you opened it now the electric isnt working and the only way i can keep the window closed is by holding it up with an ice scraper.

Any ideas how easy it is to fix the windows?

sorry should have said its a 2004 panda dynamic


Thanks
Karla

Not actaully done this on my Panda, but in both my previous cars the window was raised and lowered by a steel wire that loops around a spindle on the motor, over a series of plastic pulleys and into a clip on the bottom of the glass, with all these parts mounted to a metal frame inside the door. Sounds like one of these parts has broken - probably a small pulley. The only realistic repair is to remove the whole mechanism and replace with new - the wire is tensioned when new and pretty well impossible to refit to the system if it comes off.

This will not be a cheap part at a dealer, but a good breakers yard will have the bits. To access involves removing the plastic inner door trims.
