Re: [VintageLambo] Window motor 400GT?

Jack and Dr. Harms, Thanks for the help.As I think about it a bit more, the alignment might very well be the problem.I used the emergency window crank to bring the window all the way up and noticed it did not quite meet the top all the way. The window wants to come in at the very top, and I did have to move it around with my hand.I will take a better look at it on Sunday, other obligations are going to pull me away from my car for a few days, I hope I can stand it -SA stock show and sausage making weekend, much rather work on the Lambo.

Hi Aaron, About the "doesn"t appear to be binding" observation - I would suspect that is still your problem. The windows are curved, the channels are curved and it is a real problem to get a piece of glass aligned such that it will rise and lower cleanly in this setup. I replaced the windowon my drivers side a few years ago and it took me two weekends of inventing new curse words to get it right. There are adjustment points at the bottom of the channels, in the placement of the glass in its "cradle," at the front of the channel where it connects to the door, and if that wasn"t enough, the window can be tilted (fore/aft), which further complicates the process. If somebody had all that stuff out, the chances are very good you have an alignment problem. I can"t see how the motor could be a problem, given your description. There are limit switches that will cut off the motor when the window has reached its top or bottom position, but nothing else. Try loosening up some of those point and see if the motor will run the glass all the way up. Good Luck, Jack aaron arnold wrote: Hello- As I await parts for ignition, I wanted to see what was up with the driver"s window motor, the interior door panel was removed when I picked up the car.Jerry said that he sent the motor out for repair and the guy did not fix it correctly. The window goes down easy enough but will only come up about half way, then a little more with a light push with hand. It does not appear to be binding up, so I suppose the motor needs re-repair. What tests can I perform that may lead me in a direction to fix it? The details that Doc has provided apply to Espada, which is a diff motor.
