Hi all,

I couldn’t find any help with this online so thought I’d start a thread on my window issue.

I had a problem with the passenger window of my 2007 V8 Vantage where the window was stuttering up and down, and wouldn’t drop/raise properly when the door was opened/closed.

I tried the reset by holding the switch up and down, this didn’t work. I then tried pulling the fuses, that didn’t work either.

I took a punt and bought a new window regulator for £300.





Four bolts hold the regulator in place, and three torx screws hold the motor in. There are two T25 screws which hold the regulator clips to the glass - these were a bit fiddly through the small access holes, make sure you use a magnetic driver as you don’t want to be fishing screws out of the bottom of the door.

Thankfully this sorted all my window issues.

Hope this helps someone out there!

 

Any tips on removing the door panel? My driver's window just started not going all the way down on its own (goes down about 99% of the way), and if I push it a bit it goes all the way down. I'm *hoping* the regular is just loose... but before I buy another one, I'd like to check. Thanks!

 

Hi,

Have you tried pulling the fuses and doing a hard reset? I read a few thread about this helping lots of people - I didn’t solve my issues but could be worth a shot.

Removing the door panel was really easy, probably the easiest car I’ve worked on in that sense. There are some torque screws along the bottom of the door, one in the air vent hole, and getting the door handle bar off was simple enough. Lots of good tutorials on this online.

My only tip is when you’re reinstalling, a bit of silicone spray along the top really helped the door card push back down in to place once the window was fully down.

Good luck!
