[s-cars] Window stopped working

[Theodore Chen]

mine doesn't jam on the way down, just up, but i didn't try to put it all the way down because i wanted to be able to grab the glass to work it back up.

i was hoping there was a common weakness that would be easy to fix, like BMW window regulators and their plastic clips.  got a link for the disassembly to get to the window regulator?

Teddy,
I had a frayed cable in the winding mechanism about 3 mos ago.

My symptom was that it basically crunched to a halt about 3/4 of the way down and would not go back up.
I had to remove the door panel, cut the cable, prop it up with wood and zip ties and got a new to me regulator courtesy chris chambers (the man with all the parts.)
I wish I remembered more about the install, but I think you can save some steps by just mounting the new motor and cable on your existing frame.
The S6 regulator motor is for sure different from the S4 but everything else is the same.
While in there, check all those crazy rivet type things that suck and replacing them will eliminate door slam rattles.
