window problem on my beloved w124 cabrio - MBClub UK

The Boss · 19-04-2010, 12:49 AM

Ladies, Gents. hello

long time no speak.. need to pick your brains..

the rear driver side window works periodically..

when i push the window button, it goes down, but then stops randomly.

It then wont work for any time scale from 1 minute to 8 hours..

then randomly, it will start working perfectly again not sluggish or slow...

No other windows have any problems, but this one is bugging me now..

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks

Probably dodgy connector inside the door, next time it doesn't work keep holding the button & bang the inside of the door with your fist,if it then jumps into life thats the answer.

...value plummets - how many other corroding connections lurking...?

Its a common problem. More than likely your window motor is wet. Best solution in that case is a new motor.

I think he needs to sell this one before he can buy a new car

I had this prblem with my coupe. I took the door trim off, removed the motor, removed the casing ffrom the motor, squirted lashings off WD40 on it (drenching it and washing off a little crud), reassembled, and now works fine.

Its probably worn brushes in the motor, if you value your time just replace the motor unless you fancy trying to strip it - I tried and broke one, sent back a replacement from a breakers and a pattern part which wouldn't fit and then just stumped up the cash for the correct part and fitted it in 5 minutes.

There's a lengthy thread covering it on here somewhere.
