My '92 SC400 has seen better days, fellas. I've thought about parting her out and getting a newer platform but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I have quite a list of things that need fixing. Here's #1 on my list:

I'm not entirely sure what on earth he was attempting to do (he didn't run it by me first ) but while my ex bf was working on the driver door he said he heard a pop and the window disappeared down into the door. I am assuming/hoping that the glass is still intact. What was probably the cause, how can it be fixed and do you think I could do it myself?

If I do decide to attempt to fix it myself, what are the main eff ups that should be avoided? I'm certainly not a mechanic but I can change my oil and a tire easily enough and follow instructions. I have the pdf version of the manual that shows the process of breaking down the door...

Please and thank you

Either the screws hold the window to the regulator came off or the white things that support and mounts on the rail broke off. If your lucky you wont need a new window, but its not hard to replace. Only way to find out is to rip that baby open.

whyd he take off the door panel in the first place were you having problems with your window to begin with?

99% likely you need a new regulator, probably the plastic that holds it to the window broke.

where in TX are you, there might be some members near by willing to lend a hand if you run into some problems.

No, my window was fine before. I think he was messing with the interior door handle which was also fine... My passenger door handle needed replacing, though. He was an idiot.


I guess I really don't have much to lose... might as well give it a try anyway.

I really hope not

I did read a couple of threads before posting but they didn't answer the level of difficulty question as much as I liked. People that really know what they're talking about are going to make it sound far easier than it would be for me.

Thank you. The tutorial there looks too advanced for me. I'm in the DFW area.

If your glass is broken, I have a driver side window I'll sell you cheap.

Thanks, guys! I ran out of daylight and didn't have time to break down the door to check out the situation. I'll have a full day to spend on her in a week or two. I'll letcha know how it goes!
