    thought it was the guide / not motor..but but the whole assembly..put it in..got the rollers inside the bottom of the window chanel..and that roller that is revited on the window bottom..that goes up and down the rear guide..broke off the rivet..omg...now finding that whole assembly is impossible..all i need is a new roller and see if i can bolt it on..rediculous..screwed up the regulator bent the one roller piece..and it really pissed me off as i could have hammered the old one out also..the motor and regulator were just replaced 3 yrs ago..

    Window is floppy at full up position when door is opened. I have to be careful closing the door pulling glass forward to prevent slamming the glass. I need a roller for the glass that fits into the riser. Also, the side by the mirror is also lose contributing to the floppy condition. Problem not fixed at this time.

    lower roller broke window came out of track and then broke the window guide that is mounted into fiberglass which also cracked. 300 at body shop and 2 weeks later broke again. I notice original that the rubber stops were missing allowing the window to go past the end allowing the bearing to fall out of guide.

    My Driver side window just stopped about 1/3 of the way up yesterday. I took off the panels and discovered that the roller guide that is attached to the bottom framing of the window itself had just worn out and was detached from the track the roller guide is supposed to ride in. The Car is 22 years old. So this is something that one could reasonably understand happening. The roller guide is riveted to the bottom frame and housing that holds the window. I am seeking someone to hire who understands these problems and can fix this for me. Besides that the car is in MINT condition.
