Rear Passenger Window

I went to roll down my window last Thursday and it wouldnt go up or down. I took the door panel off and it looks like the wire jumped of the pully on the motor and got stuck around some bracket and messed up the whole end of the wire. Where would I be able to get a new wire? I dont like my window being down when its raining.

I don't know if you can just change the wire. Most people replace the "window regulator". It's a part that is known to go bad on Maximas.

If the wire just jumped off the bracket, you could try taking the window regulator out and messing with it to see if you can get it back on track...it's worth a try..A new regulator is around $40-$50 I think...

Directions to change regulator can be found in the stickies.

By wire do you mean cable? It is most likely your regulator cable that broke and you'll need to replace it. You can get them for $20 off of ebay, and mine have worked fine for 2+ years so far. Installation is simple and can be found here:

only comes as a complete regulator. there are people who have rebuilt their regulators, but to me it's cheaper/easier to just buy one and slap it in.

Disconnect. Cut 2x4", prop the win up.... when sunny day comes, take off. Feelings up and down like With Windows Vista... hands always dirty.

Or get new from Internetauto...
