Re: Groaning (then non-working) electric windows

["Matthew Brenengen" <qcar@hotmail.com>]

Word of warning:
If, in the fact, the problem is that the cable that makes your window go 
up and down has crossed up on the spool (it may have in fact finally 
broken, like mine did), it is not a simple thing to fix.  When I first 
ID'd the problem, I thought, "No sweat, I get some new cable and ferols 
(sp?) at the hardware store and I'll be back in business in no time."  I 
tried FOUR times to do it, each time, it took at least 2 hours, and each 
time, although I learned something, the cable would get all tangled up 
again.  Once it was kinked, it was back to the hardware store for $4.06 
worth of parts.

The better solution:
I finally went to the junk yard, and pulled the whole assembly, minus 
the motor, off a similar car, for $20.  It has worked fine since.
