Re: Cherokee power window failures...has yours failed yet?
Bill,
I'd agree but I was witness to all 3 failures. (One was in a snow storm.
Cherokee owners should ALWAYS carry a roll of packaging tape to hold the
window up WHEN this happens. I was lucky, and happened to have a roll in
the Jeep.)
In response to the previous poster's question, the elevator is a plastic
cog (maybe a nylon type) that engages the spiral lift wire, and pulls
the window up/down. The replacement is expensive because you have to buy
the entire assembly, motor and all, to replace what is probably a 20
cent piece. All three replacements I have bought ($105) use a
re-designed metal element.
Save your old ones, I'm working on a field fix that avoids having to pay
the pirates.
