This morning while driving around my 2006 convertible with top down and side windows up I lowered my drivers side electric window. It went down about half way and then dropped with a "thunk." Of course now it is in the down position and they are calling for rain tomorrow. lol

How hard is it to remove the door panel to see what happened? And does anyone have a similar experience?

 

I found these instructions from the redlion. (Door Pull Installation Driver Door)

Chances are your window regulator cable broke, so it will need a replacement.
Good Luck

 

Had a similar experience with my 06 with 15,000 miles on vacation in Bryson City, NC.
Rolled the window down and it came back up half way.
Tried to roll it down again and it moved down a little.

Tried back up and it sounded like crumbling cellophane.
Finally it stopped altogether about 3/4 way down.
Borrowed some plastic from the motel to cover the window.
Drove home about 300 miles the next morning with some air coming in by the plastic. Temps were in the low 40's.

ACTUALLY with the aerodynamics of the C7, not much air come in the open side windows. It just flows right by the window.

Long story short.....the window regulator went bad... On a car with just 15,000 miles? Yep.

Had GMPP extended coverage. (Still do... Thanks Mark Fitchner) Took it to the wheeler dealer and they replaced the drivers side window regulator.
No more problems after that.

You can TRY disconnecting the battery for about a minute and reconnect it. See if it's an index problem.
If that doesn't fix it you may need a new window regulator.
Somewhere between 269 and 300 buck.

Tape some plastic over the window opening to keep water out of the car until you sort out what you need to do.
Good luck with it, Brother Vette.

 

I've had both regulator's replaced within about six months of each other. Covered under GMPP but I was told it's around a $700 job. This is what the assembly looks like.

 

If you end up doing this yourself here's a DIY and ebay source that could save you some money in the long run:

If you need some help with this let me know. I installed auto glass for about 10 years and just fixed a co-workers vert. drivers door. The people he payed to replace it could not get it adjusted properly. I live just south of League City.
