Problem with Window

Glad that you got it fixed, and happy to try to help.

While the stock rollers are usually referred to as "plastic", they are also nylon, and typically last twenty to thirty years. At $6, most folks just go with the stock parts.

Isn't it almost always those rollers??? Sometimes the motor, but I think mostly the rollers.

I would hesitate to guess the relative frequency of failures in the window system. Leaders appear to be:
Switches (can sometimes be repaired)
Motors (can usually be repaired)
Rollers (replace)
Nylon Guides (can be patched w/wire ties, or replaced)
Rubber and Felt Seals (replace)

Most cars need the door internals, including the window system, cleaned, adjusted and lubricated, with worn/aged/failed parts replaced. It is usually worth the effort to go in, clean, lube and inspect to start with.

Wally,

I was just kind of thinking of the mechanical bits that make it go up and down... True the switches can be iffy, but they usually just get worse over time vs. a catastrophic failure. Also the rubber/felt guides and seals are usually not a deal breaker, but do mess things up.

Speaking of which... How much are those damn felt guides and how easy/hard are they to replace??? My S4's are SHOT! They totally ruined the window tint on those windows too which is VERY frustrating!

Door Window - Felt Guide '77-'95 (928.537.085.03)

These puppies are $35-40 each, and are a pain to install. While it doesn't make installation easier, you can actually buy good-quality felt at the fabric store and recover the old ones, saving about $150...
