Well Done! I have this issue with my M Roadster and this is a short cut to the real fix. Thanks for the video. I think I will clean and reinstall the old stuff with new lubricants. I'm sure it is like you said. Grease gets hard and sticky over the years and causes resistance.
I bought new parts because I assumed something would have been broken. But everything was intact. It was just really hard grease build up that needed to be cleaned off and re-greased.
@@morantb yes but I used silicone spray lubricant. At first my window was stuck all the way up past where it should be able to go. But I brought it down and then my new clips weren't fitting. And the only way for me to get them to fit was to shave the edges down a Lil. Idk how that's going to affect them after it is all put back together.
I am currently having this issue. Window is stuck all the way up and won’t budge. Are you saying you could remove the glass and that made the mechanism move freely again??
I am confused on what you did here?! Did you put new ninja star gears on or did you clean everything and put the old stuff on? I appreciate the video good work.
Oops thought this was my other video for some reason. Yeah The window was really really slow on the drivers side and the passenger side was sticking. So I remove it and put in new plastic clip thingys and re greased it. Basically the grease gets really hard after years and can not slide which is what causes the window to get stuck.
Very helpful video. I will connect airbag before turn on the ignition for window moving. Disconnect airbag will trip airbag light.
Thanks for posting this - I found it VERY helpful and informative, and really appreciate the details and lessons learned. Super video!!
The best video I have found!
THANK YOU!!

Awesome video!
Great video, used it for reference A LOT!
Awesome!
The way I did it was to flood it all through the window seal with silicone spray and it worked well for me lol.
Though I had to clean the windows for awhile but not that bad
Was any part broken or did you just clean them?

DIY Hero!!
Interesting video!
My window is stuck on the up position can I still get the job done with it up? Nevermind that, now I can't get window back on
What's the problem exactly? Did you regrease the slides after you took the window off?

I just took it apart piece by piece for practice. I figured I would get it on video incase it helped someone else who wants to take apart their tranny

👍👏👏
Going to try this, window went down unevenly and will not come back up. the control arm is like $400 ouch
Let me know how it goes
Yeah there is a good chance the grease just got old and hard and is now holding the window from sliding . Let me know if you have any questions
Whats that back part called on the top left it clips to hold the leather jn
Are you referring to the rubber cap type thingy?
