Window help
On the truck in my sig my passanger side window is coming off of track or something. When i push the button for it to go up all you hear is the motor working but it hardly ever goes up. Also sometimes when i push the button for it to go up it will fall down some.
What is most likely the cause of this and how would i fix it?

might be a gear inside the door... Just taking a shot in the dark since I am old school and have manual crank windows...
I'd take the door pannel off and get in there, and have a root around to find the problem.

The three plastic buttons that hold the gear inside the regulator wear out.
This pic is from JBG, the part is $12.

I've heard that also, but with my luck I will stick to the plastic parts, if I were to try to use the 5/16 nuts something would hang up and it would cost me a fortune to fix rather than shear the plastic..
Some things sure do need upgrading but I believe a power window needs the "plastic fuse".

I've had the nuts in there for... 7 years now? they will work fine, that the door's electric motor out, then get to the gear in the lower half and replace the plastic button wih the nuts. To get to the three screws holding the motor in place you might need to do some drilling if the motor has never been serviced.

1/2" holes, the three dimples over the motor...
Then you can block the window and remove the motor without taking the whole mess out.
