'81 Eddie Bauer Rear Window Problem

Hello all, I have read through the threads and found nothing on my problem. I am hopping someone here can help me out.

I was fixing the driver's switch for the power rear window and appear to have rolled it to far down. While the motor still runs it makes a clicking sound when going down and a sort of whir going up. The window makes a kind of mild hit of a jerk at the up attemt in time to the whir's occolation. Do I have to remove the motor to fix it?

Thanks for all your help.

'81 Eddie Bauer Bronco 5.8l EFI

Don't mind short answers. Thanks.

By the way, any idea what might be the problem? Did it just "jump the tracks," or do you think it might have stripped something?

It could be off track. but by the sounds of the motor that you described it sounds like you striped one of the plastic gears in the motor.

Check to make sure the window is on track first.

Yep, the window is fine. Looks like an overhaul for the motor, or a replacement.

Thanks for the help.

Eddie Bauers didn't come out until '85.

My bad... I have had an 81 f-100 for 10+years. I keep getting the date wrong on the Bronco (I have had it for a month). It is a 91, not an 81.

I hear stuff about rear windows on Broncos all the time. I think it's a very common problem. I took my inside panel off and oild mine so it stays running smoothly. I guess one thing I liked better about chevy blazers was that they were were available with a manual rear window that opens with a crank.
