Ok, I get to work today and go to roll up my manual windows and the drivers side gets stuck half way up. I give it a little more muscle and the window starts coming off the track and at a wierd angle in to the car. I rolled it back down, all was well up again and same problem. I think the Assembly is bent and needs replaced. The passenger side is fine.

Does anyone have a manual drivers side window regulator in good working condition that they would sell me cheap?

Try grease. The main problem is them running dry. So grease the system, and maybe a little silicone oil for the rubber channels. I had the same problem, and grease for the mechanical part plus oil for the channel (don't mess up the glass :-) ) solved it.

 

Ill give that a try tomarrow, thank for the info.

yeah, just try lubricating all the mechanism and making sure the front rail inside the door is tight against the glass and the rubber tracks are still there.

I have a manual window regulator and tracks you could have...but, Its here in New Zealand with me... I converted my car to electric windows.

 

I hear lithium grease works well...

 

That would be some hellacious shipping charges. Thanks for the adviz.

The main problem with the Mazda window regulators is that the outboard side of the shaft is not bushed, but rather protrudes through a hole in the support that gets egg-shaped with wear. Then the handle gets wobbly and the gears do not mesh properly. If your window crank handle wiggles up and down, this is probably the case. The only way to fix it is to replace it. I pulled three window regulators at the junkyard recently, and picked the best one for my car. I paid $15.00 for it. If your handle has no play, it could just be that you need to grease it though. Good luck! -Mike

 

Yeah i was just gonna say.... most junkyards have a day where its like "all you can carry away for 10 bucks." id recommend doing that if greasing it doesnt work.

Well the handle wiggles tremendously up and down. I have a problem with the boneyards around here they are all overpriced and none have any first gens with manual windows. I really hate to pay what Mazda or mazdatrix is asking for one, so if any of you can help PM me with cost and estimate shipping to 31603.

i've got one. i need to find it though. i believe its still in the back of the van.

 

would apprecieate it there jeremy, long time since I heard from u. Sell your car yet?

peace

 

james, markVII on here, is going to buy it. so i can still go pet it etc. i just bought a 91 7 since the van **** on me. still in the family, just a little more comfy and daily drivable.

 

How about 25 bucks + shipping? I'll go get one of the regulators I pulled during my parts-pulling spree. The junkyard that has 'em wants $20.00 for them so I'm only making 5 bucks on the deal. Anyway, there it is if you're interested. Let me know. -Mike

 

sounds good unless jeremy can beat that

PM me

thks
