[QUOTE="aDrIaN, post: 338291, member: 206"] I had the same problems with my windows as well some time ago. It was due to the windows not being used for too long so they thend to get 'stuck' in its place. When i wanted it to go down there was a loud CRACK then gears trying to move the lifter up or down. But the window is already halfway down. It has already come lose so its 'free-falling'. i had to put my hands on the inside and outside and lift the window back into its place if i go on uneven roads or our infamous potholes. A new lifter and motor unit will set u back at about 1k+. I think it was a bit too steep to get it replaced as i hardly wind down my rear windows. So i got it fixed by Naidu, who repairs airconds actually. He got me a recond motor and lifter and cables for only 400 bucks. So it was a good deal to get the rear mechanisms changed. For the front however if u can afford it get the original brnad new one. Well it lasted 12 years for my case and probably 8 years for u. U wind down the driver window more often so invest in a brand new original one so it'll last another 8-12 years! [/QUOTE]
