3.0 GTV phII
Over the past three weeks or so I've noticed my (drivers side) window seemed to show signs of "straining" as it opened and closed. This morning I thought I wouldn't get it closed. it would slow to a stop, I'd move it down an inch, cross my fingers and press up. I managed to close it this way. Once I got home this evening I thought I'd try it again. It opened but really wouldn't close this time. Pressing the up button while manually pulling/grabbing the window up didn't help at all.
To cut a long story short...
I've undone the two bolts at the bottom of the glass to free it from the mech and propped the pane up with wood so that the car is weather proof while standing in my drive. Even without the weight of the window the mech will not move with a button press. I might get a slow creep of an inch or so (up or down) but then stop.
Any ideas? Does this suggest a burned out motor? Could it be, just a squirt of oil in the right place will free things up?
There are no "tick, tick" sounds like some have talked about with faulty windows.
Oh yeah - I found a small green 1" or so long piece of plastic in the bottom of the door. (plastic as in polythene, rubbery plastic)... a clue?
