Power window gear replacement

mr2tim · 08-11-2009, 08:49 PM

Wouldn't you know that after "only" 340,000 miles my power window started to make hesitation jerking and finally died halfway up several days later.

After pulling the window regulator out I found a broken gear, the one attached to the motor.

Being the kind of guy that doesn't believe in replacing what's not broken I found another gear for sale from a mr2 supply business for less than $20. Replacing the gear was a snap.

Here's what the gear and the regulator looked like for those of you who have not made the repair, yet.

The next window gear I will replace will be the 5th one.

And I'm not looking forward to it.

Good timing. I just got the same issue.

What was the name of the online store that sold the gear? You have a web address?
