I have a 96 GLE and i left my driver side window open for a couple days. i put the windwos down before i went for a dirve and it worked perfect. Then when i got home i tryed bringing the window back up and the motor stuggles only get about 1/2 way up... i tryed to help it along with my hand putting alot of force into it but its doing nothing?

My thinking is when i had it partly down someone tryed to get into my car by forcing the window down but didnt make it b/c nothing is missing.

I could be anything but before i bring this to the machanic anyone know of a quick fix?

Thanx

BRAVO

It may be the runner on the window. Take a look to see if the runner on your window is ok.

at a glance it looks good... but i cant really see much... is this more of a machanic thing?

i am comparing it to the passenger (which works) and it looks identical

thanx

Well i figured out the problem but cant get in there...

the rubber lineing at the front of the window came up or something i can see with a flashlight its all twisted up in there.. but how on earth do i get access to that area?

thanx again for the help guys

BRAVO

the rubber lining is what i was referring to as the "runner". You will have to replace it. it is less than a $100 at the nissan service center.

100... well i u gota do what i gota do.

but if i pick up the runner how do i open the door pannel and put it in?

Well it took me about 25min and the “Interior Chrome Door Handles” instructions but I fixed it.

Incase this happens to you.. What happened is the rubber runner came off for some reason? I took the panel off (kinda tricky but listen to the instructions and when in trouble PULL HARD ;-). then I un screwed the speaker, then little by little I fed the runner down, then rolled the window up a bit the fed some more, until the runner is back into place.

Window works great now thanx for all your help guys

BRAVO

glad to hear you got it going, but definitely replace tyhe runner when you get a chance cuz it probably won't last. You will probably have to do that every so often until you replace. Be very careful whe your rollong your window up and down. My entire window fell into the door panel once and I had to take it off to get the window out and that was all because of a bad runner that I delayed replacing. B4ecause of that i alsoi had to re-tint my window. Good luck!
