So a couple of days ago I went to wind the Window down and it just went and the winder just kept spinning around with nothing happening thankfully the window stayed up and doesn’t drop down much which is a relief, I’ve hard the door card off and the cable was incredibly rusty and has snapped. What do I need i looked on mx5parts.co.uk and there’s a long cable and a short do i need both or something else entirely aswell or what?
hey Jack, when mine broke I replaced the long/short cables & the drum. dont think its worth replacing just the broken cable because the other will probably break anyway. there is a lot of stuff on here to read about. different opinions on what to replace, start here; http://www.mx5oc.co.uk/forum/yaf_postst194_Electric-Windows---Stuck.aspx hope your hands are small cos there aint much room in there
The manual regulators are not serviceable; they start to stiffen up. Inside the regulator, is a tightly wound clock spring. Its near impossible to put the thing back together. The newest used regulator is now over 20 years old.
