Power Window Regulator Problems?

[feetwet]

Has anyone been having window problems requiring replacement of the regulator assembly?

Issue # 1 - window tilt & jam
I'm now on my second front window with a problem where the window "tilts forward" and jams while being rolled up. The driver window on my 06 Libby had this problem about 6 months ago, and now the passenger window has this problem.

Issue #2 - auto-down feature sporadic
Also, on my "good" window on the driver side the "auto down" feature doesn't always work. At first I thought it was just due to a dirty window, as it helped to clean the window.. but has since re-occurred on a clean window.

feetwet your problem sounds like the window tiling is it being off the track, the only way to fix that is to remove the inner door panel and replace the track sometimes they can get dry or stretched or just plain damaged. the sporadic autodown could be a lazy motor or bad connection at the button

you need new regulators, theres a TSB out on them for that exact reason. Take it to the dealer, covered under 3/36 warrenty

Thanks... does the TSB affect the back windows too? I have an appointment next Friday to do it under warranty.

I have had the same problem on my '06 Renegade....first the driver's window at 3 months, now the second row driver's side (at 6 months)....which is scheduled to be fixed at week's end. What a pain in the butt...

Havent had the chance to look yet, but are the regulator units separate from the motor units on our windows? I know the last generation XJ's were known for their less than par regulators, and when they let go, you couldn't replace just the regulator...as it was in one big unit with the motor as well (and cost about $200 a pop).

Seems like all jeeps are bad for that. So far weve had that happen on 2/4 of our Jeeps..

Well mine was "fixed" last friday and it's already doing it again...

The regulator I bought for my 03 is motor, regulator and all in one unit and it was expensive. Mine failed about 120 miles out of the 3/36 warranty.

i don't know. our renegade drivers window sounds really loud (least to me), when it rolls all the way down. it's done it since we bought it, so hopefully it's just a normal "jeep thing".
