A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.

RookieThe car is 1989 and it's 300000km. I replaced the window motor with one from a "Pick and Pull". It was a very frustrating, difficult and long process. You have to take off the door paneling. There are rivets attaching the motors to the doors. You must use a motor from the same side of the car or it won't fit. I ended up just using cotter pins and zip ties to anchor them into place and the one I did like that 5 years ago is still working fine. Right now two of our four windows motors are broken. I must admit I have more knowledge and tools then I did 5 years ago when I did the first one but wow that first one made me mad...

RookieI can't let anyone roll windows down, because they don't have enough power to get themselves back up.
