    The driver side window would not rise from the dropped position it takes when the door is opened yesterday. I can hear the window lift motor spinning but it will not go up or down. The window is free, it can be raised and lowered by hand but not with the motor.
    I know there is a regulator system in the door operated by cables driven by the motor. I can see that from the parts manual online.
    Has anyone had a problem like this? If so, what was the cause, broken cable, a stripped gear?
    I will have to get it fixed, of course, just curious if anyone else had experienced it.
    I see nothing in a search of the forum.

    Hi there,
    I had a similar issue day after I bought my Cali, and the regulator had to be fixed around $800 and change ...(luckily my dealer covered me).
    Should not be a big problem :)

    good luck,

    Gear on the motor was damaged. Regulator appeared to be ok, no real way to check it, but I replaced it because it could have caused the gear to go bad. Warranty took care of the motor and labor, I paid for the regulator part only. At this point in my life piece of mind is the most important thing.
