I have a 1995 Nissan Maxima. A former co-worker of mine has a 2000 Acura TL. On the same day, in the same parking lot (but on opposite sides of the lot), both of our rear, driver-side windows fell down and wouldn't stay up. This happened to me once before with the passengert- side rear window and through a Nissan news group I found out it was most likely the window regulator. Both times I've been able to by a new regulator for about $50, remove the door panel and replaced the broken regulator with the new one. I thought my friend could do the same with his TL, but I have yet to find any place online that sells a window regulator for a 2000 Acura TL. Do they have such a thing? Or do the power windows go up and down by some other method?
The Maxima's regulator is just a pulley system driven by a motor that pushes and pulls the window up and down. I've seen window motors for the 2000 TL and they are also about $50. Do the motor and regulator come as one part? (That would be impressive because a Nissan motor and regulator bought together sell for about $150 at the dealer.)
Basically, has anybody had a window on a 2000 TL fall down and fixed it? If so, how?
Thanks,
Jason
