Save yourself some money!
Hey hey everyone, I posted this in a reply a few days ago, but I just want to make sure that everyone knows about this cost saving measure. The window regulators break A LOT on our generation of Maxima, and here is a fix I used to save myself $60:
Usually, when the regulator fails, it is just the small plastic piece that binds the cable to the mechanism that slides the window up and down. Take the door panel off, (Use Craig B's site for instructions) and get the regulator off. You should be able to see the broken plastic piece. On the cable is a metal stopper that should be attatched to the broken plastic piece. Take a small machine screw *SMALL!* and screw it in where the small metal piece juts in and forms a 90 degree angle. Make sure the screw clamps onto the metal stopper and replace the regulator! This worked perfectly on my window and if it happens to the others, I'll fix it the same way!
Enjoy!
