Hi,
My drivers side window has chewed through at least 2 of the teeth on the window regulator and the window is now bouncing on the last 1 inch of travel. The motor is fine but the gears are shot also.
I'm looking for a mint condition drivers side mechanism including motor please.
If anyone can help that would be great. I have a block of wood holding the window up the last 1cm.
Regards All

Yes GJMHONDA2012, that will be the one.
Thing is, I want to replace with one without the same wear as mine. I have a pic on my phone which I will upload tonight for you to look at. Its only of the broken teeth part not the whole thing. But its held in the door with 3 / 4 bolts and you lower the window to access 2 other bolts to remove the glass, then it folds up and pull out the access hole in the door.
Basically the motor has a gear drive too which can become worn. I need a pair with no rust and good gears.
There are some on ebay but they are all from abroad or are the wrong side - or from a 5th Gen. They do look different to the 4th gen though.
If you could remove and check that would be worth mucho rep points

They go on ebay for around £20-25
Here is the motor detached from the mechanism - you can see the gear is rusty and crumbling...

... and this shows you the missing regulator teeth

Does yours have the coil spring shown in this picture on the regulator arm?
