I searched the threads and I was not coming up with the answer I was looking for. This morning I got in my car to come to work and went to put down my windows and when I got to the rear passenger window I heard this loud thump so I immediately went to roll it back up and all of a sudden the window just fell. WTF? If it's something to do with the track how do I take the door apart to get to it? I know how to take the outer part of the door off (because I have replaced my speakers before) but to get to the inner part of the door I have no clue. If anyone can help me with this I would be so thankful.

What year es?
I recommend dowloading the FSM for your year es.
It has the exact descriptions and pictures of everything.

Here is an update. I was able to figure out how to pull the door apart and I got the motor and track assembly out of the window and it looks like some piece broke where the two cables feed into the motor. There are two pieces of plastic that have springs around them that came out and will not go back in without something retaining them in, and this is the piece I think broke.

Here's the outcome to my little dilemma. The cable on the motor/regulator snapped and got tangled up in the housing, weird right?! I ended up finding a motor/regulator on ebay for $65 and got it installed and working today. The biggest pain was getting the rubber bump stops in the right place so the window doesn't shoot through the roof line:-) Oh yeah and I forgot, I have a friend that works at a car dealership and the listing price is in the neighborhood of $750 for a motor/regulator assembly and at his cost it is still $600. The guy at the parts counter said this is about the most expensive one he has seen. Sucks don't it:-)

At least your window is back up and running and you scored on that price for $65, God Bless Ebay!
