Windows stuck - 2005 Mazda 6 Sign In

Hello all, thank you for taking the time to read my post.


I was just wondering if anyone might know why my front left and back left windows are stuck?

The top left window is stuck at bottom and the motor makes a lot of noise.

The bottom left is stuck near top and it won't go down all the way, the same thing with the motor making noise.

The remaining windows work fine.

Thank you!

Pretty clear. You need a couple of new window regulators. Usually about $300 each if you have them done at a repair shop.

Thank you for the reply.

Do you think I only need to replace only the motor for the window regulator?

I ask because I see on Amazon some sell only the motor while others sell some additions to it.



What do those others parts do aside from the motor?

No, you need the regulator/motor combo as shown in the link.

I have to remove your link as they are not allowed in this forum.

Okay I see thank you.

I was just wondering how you know its the motor and regulator that needs to be changed? And not just the motor? Are there certain signs?

Thank you again

You can hear the motor running and the gears are stripped.

It's always recommended to change the whole unit because these Chinese companies are making them as a pair and they don't match up well when they are separated.

You only want to fix this once so don't try to cut corners.
