Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for the window pull mechanism, the exact procedure may vary depending on the door design and equipment. Below is a practical, commonly used procedure for replacing this type of part.

1) Before assembly

• Compare the new and original mechanism: shape, grips, guides and the way the glass is attached.
• Check that the mechanism moves freely (no crossing/slashing) and is not visibly cracked or bent.
• Check the condition of the connectors/wiring in the door (damage in the grommet is common).

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Set of screwdrivers and bits (Torx/hex depending on design)
• Plastic crowbar for removing upholstery
• Ratchet/extension according to the type of connecting material
• Adhesive tape or wedges to secure the glass
• Work gloves, cleaning agent for degreasing

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the battery to be safe (especially if you will be disconnecting the electrical connectors in the doors).
2. Remove the interior door trim/trimming and carefully disconnect the controls/connectors (if included).
3. Remove the door cover film/insulation so that it seals well again after assembly.
4. Secure the glass in the upper position (typically with tape over the door frame) so that it does not fall when the attachment is released.
5. Remove the attachment of the glass to the mechanism (depending on the design, it may be screws/clamps).
6. Disconnect the electrical connector from the retract motor (if the motor is part of the mechanism).
7. Loosen the fixing points of the mechanism in the door and remove the entire mechanism through the service hole.
8. Insert the new mechanism into the door, fit it in the correct position and lightly grasp the fastening.
9. Attach the glass to the mechanism and check that the glass sits straight in the guides.
10. Tighten the fixing of the mechanism and make sure that there is no contact with the wiring.
11. Do a test run of the window (briefly, without violence) and observe the smoothness of the movement and any sounds.
12. Put back the insulation, door trim and all caps/screws.
• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification
  • Verify smooth movement of the window in its entire range (up/down) without stuttering.
  • Check the fit of the glass in the upper position and the tightness (whistling/noise from the window).
  • Listen for unusual noises from the mechanism (cable/travel).

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Insufficiently secured glass – always secure the glass so that it does not fall and get damaged.
  • Crooked seating of the glass in the guides – before final tightening, check the guides and smooth operation.
  • Clamped wiring – in the door, leave the cables in their original routes and in the handles.
  • Damaged/poorly glued door film – can cause leakage into the interior; seal it carefully after assembly.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Wear of cables and pulleys due to long-term use – the cable frays, skips or breaks.
  • Increased resistance of the glass in the guides (dirt, stiffened rails) – the motor/mechanism is overloaded.
  • Intrusion of moisture into the door and subsequent corrosion/friction of moving parts.
  • Impacts and mechanical damage to the door – bending of the guides or deformation of the attachment.
  • Incorrect installation in the past – incorrect seating of the glass or incorrect guidance of the mechanism leads to faster wear.
