1972 Imperial: window passenger side isn't working anymore

[Patrick Slegers]

Hello,

I cannot open or close the window on the passenger site of my '72 Imperial anymore.
I hear the motor running but nothing happens. I think the mechanical part is broken.

Now I want to search the internet for this mechanical part but I don't know how this is called.
Does anyone knows where I can find this part?

If the motor makes noise, but the window no longer moves, your gear head pucks are dust. Easily fixed for very little $$$.

No, it's really that mechanical part that's broken. I can push the window down, or the window goes down from itself. There are some "tooth's" missing on the gears.

Can you hear the window Motor?

When you note that there are "tooth's missing". You are referring to the window regulator. What you describe is a bad lift motor. Perhaps you can post some pictures of what you are seeing.

If it's truly the gear missing teeth on the drive motor, those are easily replaceable.

For a few bucks more, you can replace the whole motor.

Nope I seriously doubt you're missing a tooth on the gear, when the pucks are dust you can lift & push the glass down (or it slides down because of its own weight)...it has nothing to do with the gear. Unless you have a pic that shows a mangled gear and regulator.

My bet is still the pucks. I have never seen a mangled gear on these.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for the help and advice!
Next weekend I'm going to check the solution provided by Mr C.

I also posted a video of using the power window on the driver's side, this is how the window on the passenger's side sounded before it was broken. Probably the same issue?
