Hello all-
Okay, I just had my second run-in with the power window lifts on my 2000 9-5. In less than 9 months since I've owned the car, both front windows have made a loud snapping sound and then have fallen into the doors. The glass is fine, the electric motor still works, but it seems like part of the track, or the piece that suspends the glass just breaks and then the pane tumbles to the inside bottom of the door. The one that just busted was the driver's door window, which is particularly annoying.
Any thoughts? What is going on here? Anyone else have this happen? Needless to say, I grow increasingly more weary to even open the windows for fear they will make their last trip up or down... (including the plastic clip that prevents the sunroof from closing properly, a full 2/5 of the glass openings in the car are currently non-functional- I feel like I am driving in an aquarium!)
Thanks,
JAS
