..:: The Clanking Window Situation ::..
Hello Roverers!
I hope you all are keeping safe, healthy & busy with your Landys ;-]#
I had to check the driver window mechanism because of a loud clanking noise it is making when bringing window up or down.
At first I thought the 3D printed rollers had given up and broke; but no! after 4-5 yrs they are still working fine; and motor seems to be working as well.
Clanking noise seems to be from "teeth" mechanism "jumping" or not correctly engaging the small gear in motor when activated. Only two of the bolts holding the mechanism to the door get tightened good enough, other two just loosen when tightening.
Maybe mechanism is not getting enough support from just two tightened bolts, or it is just giving up. Any hints? Thanks!

Hey, I'm having a similar problem, same window. Window would clank then get stuck partway down, but would keep going down when I press down on it. Then today, there was a clank and a sound like something falling off in the door, and no more motion on the window. I took the door panel off and manual lifted the window up into place. Tomorrow I'm going to try to take out the motor and arms and see if I can figure out where it is catching. Like you, I suspect that some teeth are jumping/slipping. I'll let you know if I figure something out.
