Evening all,

This applies to all mk6 fiestas, not just the ST but i thought i would share a little info. my apologies if this has been covered before

If you have ever had your window drop or it failing to open/close but can still hear the motor then there is a good chance its the gear on the motor which has failed.. it has actually split all the way round

these are a couple of pics i took tonight, second one ive done but ive heard a few people complaining about it so i reckon it could be quite a common fault?

quite an easy job, strip the door card off, couple of torx screws, hex head screw and some clips. 3 torx screws hold the motor in.

Wow plastic fatigue. Nasty. I would pin them together reinforced with superglue.

not sure if superglue would be strong enough, but then if they are pinned somehow? would be worth a try i guess though as the motors are very pricey.
