Reply to "Power window issues"

The stock window lift mechanism is made by Ducellier of France and you have three: both side windows and the headlight raise/lower arrangement up behind the radiator. It's common for the big nylon gear inside the Ducellier gearbox to shrink and split, jamming things up. If the gear has not yet split, it soon will! The rest of the gearbox is cast zinc or stainless steel and never wears. If the gear isn't yet split, the factory grease has turned to a brick and causes much drag. Clean everything and replace all 3 gears! Getting the gearbox out of the doors will take awhile if you have never done it, but it CAN be done. Difficult, messy but no cost except for bronze gears.
