The drivers door window on my 2000 Disco rolls down just fine but doesnt seem to want to roll up, how hard is this to fix and has anyone else
had this problem.
Thanks

Does it sound or look like its trying to roll up or just no movement in the slightest? If it's trying then I'd be inclined to think its slipping off track or something of that nature (doubtful). If its just dead I'd consider an electrical issue relating to maybe the window regulator or switch. I think this is a relitivly common problem, Disco Mike might know off the bat.

 

Sounds like the window regulator is about to fail, There is a plastic roller that breaks and that is the end of story.
How mechanical are you?
It is an easy replacement and a new regulator can be bought on line at a pretty decent price.
Don't wait till it braks or you will be stuck with your window down.

the motor is working ok, it does roll down just not up, I can handle a wrench ok so I think I can do this,
can you replace just the roller or do have to replace the whole regulator?

 

You have to replace the whole window regulator assy as a unit. Fairly straightforward for the mechanically inclined.

I have them for a good price on my site at www.eurotekapg.com

Well here is what happened. The window became unseated and just stuck to the door trim, so it was pretty much suspended. I put the window down, and basically the window regulator went down without the window. Then when I pressed, “up,” the seating rail got caught on something, and since the motor is so powerful it just bent the arms and broke those little wheels that run inside the rails.

I took it all out, took it all apart, made some new wheels out of stainless washers, I cut the washers to the right size using my bench grinder as a rudimentary lathe. Put it all back together, did a little fine tuning, glued the window in real well, and it’s working fine now.
