Window regulator motor surprise.
Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2025 7:29 pm
Since I bought my Zermatt silver 951 project car the driver window wouldn’t go down but I could hear a click. The door panel had all the original covers and screws and had never been removed.
I took out the regulator with the motor then connected the motor separately and it would slightly move and heard a grinding. At first I thought it was rust. I took apart the motor and discovered that one of the magnets had somehow fractured. Strange type of failure I did not expect. I already ordered a new motor but has anyone had this type of failure happen?
