Hey all, it's been a while since I've visited the forums, but I need your help.
I think the window regulator has broken in the drivers side rear door of my 01 9-3. My friend was riding in back, went to put the window down, and when it got to the bottom, there was a crack sound, and the window fell into the door. This happened to me a year or two ago on the other side, but luckily I had a Saab dealer nearby. This time, I'm 45 minutes away from the nearest place that will even touch Saabs, and I'm a broke college student with not a lot of time or money.
How easy is it to replace the window innards, and is there a DIY guide somewhere? At the very least, is there something I can do to at least get the window all the way back up and disconnect the window switch so that I don't have to drive around with a garbage bag taped over the door? The weather should be nice this weekend, so I'll open up the door panel and see what exactly is busted in there and post further details.
