Having a problem w/ my 97 Disco front electric windows. Window goes down about 6" then stops and sounds like it is skipping teeth on the window regulator, motor still working, but no window motion. I disassembled and found no apparent wear on the regulator teeth or on the two gears of the motor/driver, no apparent metal flakes or anything. Can be expensive just buying parts. Any ideas or common problems?

There's a plastic wheel that is attached to the lifting arm. It travels in the track on the bottom of the glass. This breaks all the time, i know because a few broke on my 97.
Oh, ok... This is exactly why i wish/want manual windows.
I dream of having manual windows in my truck.... electric stuff sucks.

-HIJACK-... have you seen the new window regulators? they no longer have the plastic wheel that breaks and cannot be replaced. Now it is equipped with a plastic square fitting that can be removed and replaced with ease. Better than the original, but why can they not just replace the plastic wheel with a METAL wheel!!??
ok... you may have your thread back now

Haha.. because a metal wheel rolling through a metal track may get noisy after a while...????? Who knows...
Any luck Jerre?
