'03 power window problem

If the motor is pooched and you don't want to drill, I suggest minimum 6 mil poly vapour barrier and duct tape.

This isn't a tough job if you allow the time and work purposefully and carefully.... There is no need to "force" anything - if you feel the need, you're doing it wrong.

The rivets are aluminum but the "drawbar" in the centre is steel. If we knock this drawbar out, drilling becomes very easy and the hole will guide the bit. The downside is that the best way to install everything is to use those same type large rivets and a special rivetting tool will be required. You may be able to rent one locally since they are a tad spendy for the hobbyist.

To knock the drawbar out of the rivet, almost any punch can be used but the safest ones are those spring loaded "pull and let it snap" type (not the push hard, automatic type). Check out MAC tools for the CP32R00-1 punches.

Try engaging the switch and shutting the door.

The same thing happened to my 2000 GT Coupe and I remembered someone saying to give it a good knock. That didn't do it for me so I took the motor out (didn't have to break any rivets).Plugged it in and hit the switch....and it started working again.So I put together and it has worked for about a year now.

PFM effect. I fix computers like that all the time.

Thanks to all. Much closer inspection (with the front bottom speaker out) revealed the front bottom follower was part way out of the track at the very bottom and hanging on that. Must have jarred it out somehow. Loosened up the front track (didn't want to pry on anything) and pushed, pulled, twisted and tweaked until the bastard slid back in. M A J O R PITA!
