Windows

I have an 87 Grand Marquis (shmintmobile) and the windows quit workin. The motors run but they wont move up or down, I can pull em up or down by hand, but they won't move by themselves. I'm thinkin it might be the regulators? Am I right in that assumption? Any help is appreciated, I wanna drive it more but the windows are a killer.

If motors working o.k , usually odds on it's regulator knackered .

I too have an 87 Grand Marquis. I had that happen on the drivers side front window. The plastic motor bushings probably turned to goo like they did on mine. It’s a pretty common problem. You’ll need one of these kits.


You don’t necessarily have to buy from them but just to give you an idea. You will also have to drill 3 holes to get the motors out. It’s not hard though.

I have the bushing and whatnot kit now and I’m planning on installing it tomorrow or Sunday. Do you remember where the holes need to be? I haven’t taken a super good look down into the door so if I do, maybe I can figure it out myself.

I thought I had pictures but I didn’t take any I guess. When you take the door card off you’ll see three dimples, that’s where you need to drill. They’ll be quite obvious once you have everything apart and can see the window motor.
