Fitting the Part (New, cheaper, replacement electric window mechanism for renault scenic)

OK here are a sequence of pics showing the refitting of the new window winder mech. Not the most exciting subject, but might be useful to someone. The most difficult bit was getting the old mech. out and the new in without bending the control cables too much...

Unplug the wires...

P1150503
Unbolt the three motor mounting nuts...

P1150505
Unbolt the lower slide bolt...

P1150506
Unbolt the upper slide bolt...

P1150504
Ease out the motor (take care the studs don't scratch the paint inside the door - don't want it to rust...

P1150508
This is the slider that moves the glass...

P1150510
There is a post that fits through a hole in the glass, held on with this clip, quite hard to push off, but can be done by hand, if you've got a strong thumb...

P1150512
Slightly blurry view of the clip on the inside of the door....

P1150513
This is the new clip going on...

P1150514
This is the new motor bolted loosely in place. Note the new wires soldered on and joins covered with heat shrink. I put some insulation tape on the metal where the wires might rub too as the cable with heat shrink, plus insulation tape was very stiff and could rub on the panel cut-out...

P1150515
This is the strange egg-box assembly going back in place, I guess this gives some protection to the door lock mechanism to prevent actuating by coathangers etc....

P1150516
And offering up...(don't forget the screws (like I did!) )!!!...

P1150517
Speaker location....

P1150518
Speaker fitted...

P1150520
Speaker cover clips in place...

P1150522
Electric mirror control knob pops back on...

P1150524
Corner trim piece locates in two 'sockets'...careful not to bend these pegs when removing...

So that's it! If you found this useful, or have questions, add a comment. Thanks.

Renault, scenic, electric window, mechanism, PARTS (item 4592915233 end time 03-Dec-05 15:31:35 GMT)

Seems to be one of the cheaper options for replacing one of these little buggers, cheaper than the renault item (£185 + VAT :o ) anyway
