My Vito did the same. I just drilled 2mm holes into both sides of the gear the broke/sheared off into the centre of each tooth and inserted steel wire pins 2mm dia about 12mm long and re assembled. It works perfectly, did the same to the other side when it broke about 18 months later that was 5 years ago. Total cost of repair $0.00 just 1.5hrs of my time per window. I didn't need to touch the cable at all.
I just had my electric window fail. Initially I thought it was the repair I carried out 5 years ago, but It wasn't. This time another nylon component failed. What failed: The cable that winds on the window up has a nylon stopper that holds back the cable outer sheath. The design of the stopper slides into the slotted metal mounting plate. To prevent the nylon stopper pulling away from the plate the nylon stopper has a moulded tab at the back if it so it can only slide onto the plate. Well that tab broke, a loud bang as I tried to close the window. The window would not go up. After taking the door shell off I could see the stopper tab broke nd pulled out of the slotted plate. I cut a block of high density plastic 20x20x30mm drilled an offset hole 7mm dia along the 30mm length. In position using the damaged stopper as a guide. I then cut away excess material to produce a 9mm long x10mm tube with the 7mm hole down the centre . This is for the winder tension spring to fit over while allowing the winding cable sleave to slide inside the 7mm hole. Next I cut 2 slots approx 2mm wide along the block, this is the allow it to slide into the slotted plate. There is more meat on the back of the new stopper to prevent it from breaking and pulling through the slotted metal mounting plate. The final thing to do was to cut a slot so the winder cable could pass through just like the original nylon stopper. It was a light fit reassembling the fabricated stopper but I did get it in position and the window works perfectly again. All up It took an 1 1/2 hrs to take to cover off and fabricate and re assemble. I have made a second stopper in case the window down cable stopper fails as they are identical or if the same problem occours on the passanger door. The second stopper too just 1/2 hour the complete.
Hi, this is the item that I purchased. ebay.co.uk/itm/111538630176?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=6oe7-OTUQja&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=I27YCrgwRZ6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Great video and very informative indeed. However, I went to Euro Car Parts they want to sell me the whole mechanism for £189 which I don't need. All I need is that plastic triangle that houses the cables, where can I buy it from please? I have been roasted inside that van with both windows shut!!! Thank you👍
I don't think I have ever seen one for sale on its own. You may get lucky on a Vito forum if someone has one of those laying around? The whole mechanism is available on eBay for about £25.
@@AshfordMTB I thought you managed to source it out from somewhere when I 've seen you replacing it so I went to try my luck. But I just ordered one from Ebay for under £10 arriving Thursday. I will let you know what happens.

Given that mine haven't worked for 5 years do you think complete regulator would be better in case things have seized. Money's tight, cheers for the video mate
Just did it. Took no longer than 20 mins total. Much appreciated
That cable tie trick is worth a thumbs up on it's own 👍
Absolutely a pleasurable video. Thank you so much for this! All I need is two of those replacement cogs now.
Something went wrong with it and i have found the 2 cables twisted really bad. Must replace both now. Thanks for the vid man. Really helpful!

I would say if you can move the window up and down with your hands quite freely, go with the pulley. Can you hear the motor running?
