Have you all ever thought of trying to mod the rear window so that it goes all the way down?

I can't remember where the regulator stops at the bottom. I just thought it might be cooler.

 

i don't think there is room. the width of the door is narrower at the bottom where the rear wheel is

 

that would be cool. If its possible to do that. when i get my regulators for my rear pass. ans drivers side maybe tomorrow imma try that.

 

no, it will not fit..... end of story..... it will hit the wheel well....

 

got it, thanks!

 

i thought of the same thing until i opened up the inside of my door... there was no room

 

If you really really really want to do it, just make a hole in the wheel well and the window will slide right on down!

 

prolly the closest thing u can ever get to getting ur rear windows all the way down is diamond titling them and that may not be possible either and yes i know this post is an old post but had to add my 2 cents

 

Maybe I'm missing it or it's the difference in model year, but I believe my 1991 rear windows have always gone all the way down?! This is until a couple years ago when the plastic bushings on the regulators "puked", preventing back windows from going anywhere! Then I drilled a hole on the inside of the door (yes under the door panel:-), at the exact same level of the bottom/center of the glass. Ran that 3 inch bolt in there, covered it with a piece of fuel line to protect the glass from the bolt. Now my back widows don't go anywhere! There are quiet and leak-free. Maybe some day I'll throw some money at new ones.
Best of luck on your mods.

nope i owned a 91 max se they dont roll all the way down our 3rd gens can not roll down all the way

 

tell you what elusive, I'd bet on most anyone ELSE's memory over mine any day, I'm sure you're right! :-)

Hey what does a guy have to do to be able to post a question ("thread" I guess) to this forum? There's a lot of great experience here, I'd really like to ask a question about my Maxima.

Thx, and have a great rest of the weekend!

you have to post enough posts in other threads to be able to be allowed ability to make a new thread im not sure how many posts u have to post but i think it might be like 30 or so not sure though

 

you need 15 posts to start a new thread.
or just search the board for a thread that relates to your question and just post your problem in there.
just try to make sure the post isn't 3 years old.

 

Hey, Thanks a Million automar! I do appreciate it.

I think the theory behind it is so that "newbies" to the forum read other posts/threads and learn things about the car before asking a bunch of questions that have already been answered. (hopefully that wasn't a no s**t sherlock situation) edit: Actually that reminds me I was going to ask about the Avatar. Why am I not able to have one/what do I have to do to have one? (not a big deal because we have signature abilitys, just curious though.)

 

I have a 92 Maxima SE and I have two very annoying problems.

1st problem, my drivers side rear window just stop working out of the blue yesterday. It wouldn't go up all the way and stopped at about 3 quarters. It seems as though the window motor still works (I can hear it try to move the window when I push the button), but it seems as if the window is off track or something. I can also pull the glass up the rest of the way with my hands, but then it just slides back down into the door.

Is this the dreaded window regulator problem? How easy is this to replace? How much should I expect to pay for a new regulator if I do it myself?

2nd problem, my Bose system is totally screwed up. I replaced the factory head unit with a CD/Cassette combo from Sanyo that I got from Crutchfield. They also sent me this adapter that interfaces with the factory wiring so that I can play my head unit through the Bose set up. Everything is set up correctly except for the fact that only the fron drivers side speaker is functioning. The rear speakers give me nothing but static and the front right is barely audible.

I've now purchased kenwood speakers and want to replace the factory Bose speakers in the rear. Is there any way for me to splice/hack into the Bose Amp/Speaker wiring and just hook up new speakers? If not, is it possible to remove the rear Bose Speakers and Amps, attach 6.5s, and wire them using the pre existing speaker wires that terminated at the Amps? Is there anyone who has successfully replaced the rear Bose Speakers and head unit withou re-wiring the entire set up?

 

the window itself it too tall, thus making it stop when it hits the "bottom". i guess you could cut it if you were extremely talented, but then youd have to have more height on the regulator since the window would be going up more/using more wire from the motor...by that time its not even a mod. its more like youre making your own assembly.

 

not off track; there are wires that control the adjustment (up/down movement) of the window. the wire that pulls it upward must have snapped or gotten snagged inside the plastic gear on the motor.

i replaced mine and it did the same thing to the replacement!, so i just disconnected the window button and jammed a screwdriver between the window and regulator. you cant shine ****.

as for the speakers, the rears were replaced when i bought the car. all i can tell you is that the replacement speakers are 6x9 subs that seem to have come from walmart.

 

well u could get a glass cutter and get a front window and go at it, its worth a try.
