the nuts and bolts
OK, so my dad and I took the door apart yesterday. It seems like the motor is OK... it sounds fine and turns its spool as it should BUT the cable that controls the window is loose inside the door. Upon closer inspection, it looks like the spool that winds the cable is broken slightly (the notched part to which the end of the cable mounts). I'm not sure how to proceed. I guess I have to get the whole motor unit to replace this spool? I'm pretty apprehensive about actually trying to put a new one in--does the window track have to be detached to get the motor out? Which hole do you take it out of? I'm thinking maybe I should find a used motor and take it to a shop (NOT the dealer) and have them put it in. But maybe we can manage it ourselves... it's just so hard to work in that space.
Again, any advice appreciated.
AND if anyone has accurate info about other Nissans I can seek out for replacements part(s). Another posting mentioned the '91-93 (?) Altima--will that work for my '94 G20?
Thx.
Evan
