97 Disco window problems......

[surveyor]

Hello everyome....hope you are well !

Quick questionfor your expertise........ The front passenger side window has quit working. Upon inspection it appears the sacrificial rubber gear in the gear drive of the motor unit has stripped. Motor runs fine up and down.

Does anyone have any experience with this ? If so......what are my options here? Can I swap this out with one of the rear door motors, etc, etc........?

Thanks in advance !

Actually the motor itself is fine. On the motor is the gear assembley that rachets the regulator assembley up and down. There is the nylon gear that I am assuming is probably engaged by the worm gear of the motor shaft? Nested inside the nylon gear is a rubber insert which fits around the shaft which I am assuming turns a gear which engages the teeth of the regulator itself.

The problem is the core of the rubber insert has torn out of the rubber insert and no longer will turn the shaft to move the regulator. Motor turns fine up and down.....just won't move the regulator. Is this rubber insert available by itself or do you have to buy complete assembley ?

Thanks,

Doug

Sadly I believe you have to buy the assembly or if it were me, I would head over to Lowes or Home Depot and see if I could find a part that matches or even to Napa...
