Problem with Window

Thanks especially to Wally. The window is all the way down (that's the way it was when it failed). The problem was a broken nylon wheel. I am having a replacement wheel made out of aluminum. I removed the window moter and lift assembly to have this done. I did not have to remove the window.

After I get the the new wheel (the shop will do the peening) I will re-install all parts. Hoping I won't have many adjustments and anticipating that re-installing the lift mechanism will be a little tricky.

Thanks for the help all,

Glenn

Keep us posted and take very detailed pics and do a Dwayne write up about it for the Tech area!

I'm glad that you are getting the problem solved - but did want to point out for other folks that the Porsche nylon roller and rivet set costs about $6 plus shipping from your 928 vendors.

You definitely do not have to remove the window, but it is easier if you securely tape it in the closed position.

I found it really helpful to hold the window in place (closed) by using a couple of spring clamps.

I finally finished this job. The problem was the plastic wheel which rides in the window runner broke. I was going to have the replacement wheel made of aluminum when I considered the noise and wear that might result I did not do that. However I did have the replacement wheel made of a much nore durable matrial (nylon), where the replacement wheels are made of plastic.

I posted a couple of pictures to help with some of the references found online. I was able to do this job woth out having to remove the window. I absolute best part of the story it that my car is back on the road again. Thanks for the advice gang.
