Subject: Rear Window Motor Repair
Description: Repairing a debonded rear window motor on the 2nd gen.
A few tips on repairing a split drive section on the rear window motor. A lot of stuff has been mentioned before and I don't want to get too technical, so it's basically a simple guide. 1) Remove the carpeted and metal section from the rear door. 2) Remove the 3 bolts from the back of the motor. (Handy tip cut down an allen key and fit it to an 8mm socket). That way you have room to manoeuvre. 3) Disconnect the wiring and remove the motor. 4) Strip the motor down to these parts. 5) In my case the rubber spacer / shock absorber had come adrift from the metal drive disk. 6) Glue and clamp the pieces back together and leave overnight. Nice tip from madcampbell - drill and countersink the metal plate in 3 places, and drill and tap the metal section of the rubber spacer / shock absorber. I would suggest 4mm. You can then bolt the rubber and metal sections together for added security. 7) Reassemble the parts - worm wheel in first. Then the rubber and metal drive section. Refit the window drive gear shaft and secure it in place with the circlip. If the circlip does not sit properly in the groove, gently deepen the groove with a junior hacksaw until the circlip has a firm hold, otherwise it will spring loose when the motor is operated. Refit the cover and clip it into place. 8) Refit the motor, metal cover plate and carpeted cover. Hope this all makes sense!
