My drivers side window decided that it did not want to go up today so I pulled the door panel off and tapped the motor with a hammer and it worked, so who knows how long thats going to last, putting the door panel back on took me 45 mins, it was a biatch

The hood has all kinds of adjustments. From the latch to the hinges.
The window motors go on our cars because the windows are too big and they use a generic Ford actuator that is not designed for glass that big.

My hood is the same way. One very cold winter day i had to get the stang out to pick up parts for the beater escort and i popped the hood to check everything and then i went to shut it and it would not shut. I dropped it like 20 times and it wouldnt shut, i had to get oil out and put oil all over the latch and then it shut. I dunno if it had to do w/ it being so cold, but that is the only time that happend.

I have a friend who has power window issues with his Chevy S10 every once in awhile. When it happens he takes the door panel off and taps the electric motor with a hammer and it works for a few more months. He said something about tapping the motor cleans the brushes?

i have a problem with mine where the passenger side window goes down but not back up...from the drivers side. If i go to the passengers side window button the window goes up fine. I think something in that door has a date with a hammer soon.

i can have that door panel off and back on in under five minutes. I bet you will cut your time WAY down the next time you try it, now that you are familiar with how it attaches.
