froggy8 Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Very sorry guys, really didn't know what else to call it 馃槀 Anyway been at it again for a good 10 minutes and still couldn't get it out, really need to find the loose wire.聽 Just had another good look at the door and I think I might be able buy the whole loom wire and just replace it all. I think it might take couple hours. Again, if anyone has a better idea on what I should do then I'm all ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 Ok guys, the wire has turned up now. Question is what is the best way to replace the wires? My original plan was to try feed the wires through where the rubber boots are but then I noticed another connector which I believe goes inside the door.聽 I have seen some bolts that are around the edges and just wondering if taking them off would be my best option?聽 I just don't want any surprises like something will fall out and I can't put it back in or something like that. Hope someone can help please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason for you to remove the window regulator and therefore the window will not slip down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative would be to plug the new loom in between the door pillar and window motor.聽 Just let it hang in front of the panel for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
