How does an electric window winder work in a car?
An electric window circuit. A typical system is similar in many respects to a manual window-winding mechanism, except that the manual winder handle is replaced by a motor. The system usually consists of a two-way control switch in the dashboard or centre console, wired via two circuits to a motor in each door.
How do you replace a window winder rack?
The bottom screws of the rack may be on the underside of the door. Lift out the rack and winder boss through the access aperture. Grease all the moving parts of the new rack assembly before fitting. Position the handle-fixing holes on the boss to align with the winder handle. Refit the handle and wind the mechanism fully down.
What do you need to know about refitting a window?

Carefully remove the polythene condensation-barrier sheet behind the panel and set it aside for reuse.
How do you re-attach window glass to a winder?
To re-attach the window glass to the mechanism, wind the cable fully down, then up again one full turn of the winder. Some regulators have an indicator to mark the point. Untape the glass, lower it fully and re-clamp it to the cable. Test the winding action several times.

How do you adjust a window winder cable?
Tension the cable by moving the adjustable pulley. Oil the pulley spindles with engine oil, and grease the cable. To re-attach the window glass to the mechanism, wind the cable fully down, then up again one full turn of the winder. Some regulators have an indicator to mark the point. Untape the glass, lower it fully and re-clamp it to the cable.
