I have a ‘12 GS and the window would only go up to a third. First thing I did immediately was try to index the window, window wouldn’t go up to index. Disconnected the battery for a couple hours, nothing. Go to CF and search window problem, had tried everything. So I removed the door panel and found no obstructions as in other threads. Felt for obstructions in the track a found frayed wires. Changed the regulator, but it would still only go up a third of the way. Back t to the forum for answers; SHUT THE DOOR FOR THE FIRST TIME INDEXING THE WINDOW. Case closed.
Can anyone explain what would cause this fraying to happen. TIA.
I had the same fraying happen to my passenger side regulator. It had to be a defect as the passenger side window was seldom used. Replaced with a new regulator in 2013 and no issues since.
