Okay so i was just rolling up my window, and i don’t know if i heard a noise or not, but soon after, the window starts to roll down… i ripped the door skin off, and whenever i flick the switch the motor spins and it spins the 2 sprockets. What i believe the problem is, from feeling around and picking up a broken white piece of pulley, that motor has a sprocket attached at the end, and that sprocket spins another sprocket that is joined side by side with a plastic pulley that pulls the cable up and down The question is, can i pull the whole window unit along with the rails as one unit? I can’t figure out a way to replace that sprocket without having some good clearance for my hand to work around in… any suggestion? ---

its going to be safer to remove the glass from the track rather than pull the glass and the track. I have always done them seperately ---

IIRC you will not be able to replace the pulleys as they are riveted to the track. (correct me if I’m wrong. I havent seen one for years) You will most likely need to replace the whole track. Go to jusnk yards and grab one as they are not that expensive. If you go to the dealer you will find that it is about 500 i think.
