Question
I have a 2002 Mazda MPV, and the side door window fell. I can hear the "motor" running, but it is obviously off-track. Is this difficult to fix? Can I remove the side panel myself and put it back on track, or is this something that I don't want to mess with? And who fixes things like this?
Take it to the Mazda dealer. It needs a new window regulator assembly. It's not something you can fix yourself, these things are incredibly cheezy, and pretty much just explode inside the door. There are cables and springs and pulleys, and it all just goes incredibly wrong when one lets go. Bill
