it probably the regulator that makes the window go up and down. on the
contour its the wire cable that is probably frayed and not letting the
cable make a complete go around that was stopping the window from
moving... to fix it on the passenger side(power windows) on our 96
contour i had to take the whole door apart and pull the glass out to
remove the regulator... went to dealer and $120 shorter got a new one..
i tried to get a new cable, went to m/c and biclylce shops and still
cold not find what i needed.. and then i was still gonna try to repair
it.. i got a small metal cutting lathe and can repair just about
anything, but making parts for the metal cable did not work for me....
without the Haynes book on the contour from auto zone about $12.00 i
would never had ever gotten the door trim off (alot different than other
cars)....
hope this helps...

They probably can be fixed at the same time. Plus it would save on labor
(for both repair the door has to come apart.

I think either one can be fixed first, though. Jeff

Look at it from the bright side Bill - had it been me, I'm absolutely
sure that the other window had been broken, or the guy had broken in the
night after I had it fixed

This is kind of an aside, but...I've been told in a couple of places
that some sort of gear may have broken, and that's all I need to fix
to get the window working once it's replaced. I'm staring at a new
(used) window regulator and motor, and the only thing that looks like
a gear is the white wheel on one end of it. Is THAT this gear, or is
it a completely different part that isn't attached to either the
motor or the regulator?
