It sounds like the window regulator, the thing that makes the window go up and down, has worn out. The only way to fix it is to replace the window regulator, which will require removing the outer door skin...Yes, the outer door skin. The door handle is held on by a couple of plastic pins that you should buy replacements for as they are hard to get out and may not be reusable. You will also require a special tool to remove the retainer nut that holds the glass to the regulator, it sells for about $27 without shipping. You will need a drill to remove the pop-rivets that are holding the old regulator to the door steel. I chose to use small bolts to replace the rivets as the rivet gun to put the size rivets that are required is not cheap, and will not do the smaller, more common pop rivets. If you are looking for new parts, www.autopartspeople.com has an excellent menu and has diagrams showing the parts for most large items. Good luck

1998 Saturn sc2 drivers side power window wont go down there is a clicking inside door when button is pushed what could be wrong and how to fix?

Your window regulator is most likely out. Try "rolling the window down" all the way, and then get out of your car and with one hand pressed flat on the outside of the window and one hand pressed flat on the inside of the window, try to force the window to go down. If it just kind of slides, then either your window regulator is out, or your window is no longer on the track. The easiest fix is obviously to take your car to Saturn (or another shop) and have them fix it. It costs about $180. Be careful though, because the plastic in Saturns for things, such as the clips and holders that hold your door on, are very cheap and will just snap off. If Saturn/another auto shop breaks it, they have to fix it or replace it. Otherwise, buy a Hanes (or similar) manual and learn how to do it yourself. Basically, you unscrew all the screws that you can see and pull the door off. The manual will tell you what all exactly you're looking at.

How do you repair a passenger window that will not roll up on a 1988 Buick LeSabre?

Hey Steve= the most common problem is for a roller in the linkage to break. It is a big job and someone who knowa how, to repair it. Call your local auto trim shop. GoodluckJoe I had a rear window that did this. I removed the window motor. Now it's a manual window; I have to use my hands to pull it down and lift it up. I don't have to worry about locking my keys in my car although it will set off the car alarm if you roll it down with the car locked; you have to put your key in the ignition to stop the alarm. Of well.


How do you reset the power windows on LR2 after battery failure?

The directions are in your manual. Roll the window down, roll the window up, release the button then hold it up for two seconds, roll the window down, release the button then hold it down for two seconds. Repeat that for each window.
