Sue WatkinsIs anyone aware of a recall on the power window motor
ed monahanThere is none. Your best bet is bite the bullet and install the Tom Mills window regulator. He has an ad on this site and they work. Don't waste money putting OEM regulators back in.
MIKE GATLINThe regulator kit is a complete package that includes a new motor.
JeraneWMills regulator only way to go.
Mr ProwlerThe OEM regulators are bad ! My Prowler has 88 Miles on it and the driver window struggles to go all the way up unless i pull it up myself.

I wish i could do something without changing the regulator

MichelredcatI have replaced my passenger side. Often it is NOT the motor that is at fault, but the cable envelope that has cracked open and not allowing the spinning cable to push up the window and the cable is literally coming out of the envelope, or envelope/tubing is simply pulling apart while the interior cable is in motion.

There is a FIX for it, which is clamping another tubing system on top of the existing cracked or broken tubing (like creating a cast so to speak- to immobilize the broken tube) with 2 clamps at both ends. That is the easy fix.

I have seen it 1st hand while working on my prowler! Most likely your motor is not the problem!

see this video on you tube

it will show you exactly what the problem is at 3:08min is a pic of the broken tubing! and at 3:26 min the way to fix it.

good luck

Michel
