Raising a dead power window

Apr 18, 2004 4 Replies

I need to replace the complete power window motor/regulator assembly in my



98 Camry LE. The window in currently in the completely down position. The first thing I need to do is remove the window. To get to the bolts holding the window in you must raise the window about 2 inches. I cannot get the window to move at all. Is there any trick to getting the window to move, or does it just take brute force?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Have you tried the obvious? - direct battery voltage applied to the old motor? If that does work, you might want to double check the switches and wiring at the door hinges to ensure the motor and regulator are bad. Failing that, is there any way you can unbolt the window glass from the regulator? Is there a point(s) of attachment at the lower edge?
