Chrysler Repair: 2001 Town & Country Passenger Window, retaining clips, intermittent problem


Question
QUESTION: Hi Kevin- Had an intermittent problem with front passenger door window- sometimes work, then not. Discovered if I jiggled it in the trac up/down side to side it would then make contact and go up all the way. Recently- it quit altogether. Motor is fine at time of operation- so I think it must be something not making contact down inside the door. Appreciate your help- it's been 14-24 degrees here. The window currently is down 1 inch from top, and taped over, Thanks!

ANSWER: replace the regulator and motor assembly

QUESTION: Do you have any listed/procedures for my doing it at home or does it have to be done by a dealership? Thanks
