Thread: wiindow problem

my driver side window will go down but not up. it sometimes goes up a little bit but i usually have to pull it up, then it wont let me, ill push the up button, pull it up more, push it again, pull it up more and so on. my dad thinks its knocked off the track cause i can tip it forward out of the b pillar, i think its the window motor. i just dont see how it would go down but not up if it was knocked off track. ideas and thoughts?

i can pull it up with ease once i hit the button, it like by hitting the button it allows it another couple of inches to be pulled up, and it pulls up easy. is there anyway to check which it is? i dont wanna spend money sht i dont need

GM regulators seem to have a lot of issues. I have changed several of them out as the cables and cable guides seem to give out or get twisted. I worked at one of the facilities that made the window regulators. As mentioned some of the window guides can cause a problem, but that normally does not happen that I have seen unless something else has caused the issue. You can remove the whole regulator and check it out or remove the window and check out the regulator and window guides pretty easily on most GM cars.

If your window goes down and not up? I would take the door panel off and check things out, get the window up and then take the bolts out that hold it if you have that type or loosen the bolts on the clamp and take the window out and see if the regulator moves up and down OK. Just sounds to me like a regulator bad.

PS: watch what you lube it with if you decide to lube it.
