Left window motor and assembly

[Ragdalf]

So soon after i baught my 480 after running the window up and down a few times it stopt working and i have to pull the window up but it slides down while im driving, i looked inside the door and saw the wire for the door is broken and twisted up, is there anyone out there with a spair window motor and assembly? Idk what to call it so assebly it is.

Extremely common issue, affects both my windows, have you tried replacing the wire or rewrapping it?

Where can i get a replacement whire?

Even if you can get a new wire I think it would be difficult to fit due to the tension of the springs. I bought a new window regulator on ebay, to a slightly different design, but it works well. Search for 'Recommissioning a 480: 5. Windows' or similar to find my post about the repair. BTW be careful with terms such as drivers side or near side, as these change on the continent, better to stick to left and right!
