Suzuki Jimny How to Disassemble and Clean the Power Window

Recently, the power window of JB23 Jimny is not working well. It vibrates jerky at the start and stop. Motor life? I will disassemble it for the time being.

As a preparation, tape the door handle.

Remove the parts marked with a circle.

When I remove the panel, I pull out the coupler of the switch, but I can’t pull it out even if I push it with my finger. Push it with a flat-blade screwdriver and it will come off quickly. The driver’s side was pushed with a finger and slipped out.

After removing the panel, switch it on again and lower the glass. Remove the bolt indicated by the circle that holds the glass, and raise the glass to the top.

Tape the glass and push the switch down to lower the frame.

The yellow circle is the switch. Remove the blue circle coupler to the motor, but you can push it by hand. The X frame will not come out unless you remove the clip from the sheet metal after pulling it out.

Remove the four red circle bolts on the right, and remove the two red circle bolts on the left while supporting with your hand. Electric drills are recommended as they are all hard. If you loosen it by hand, the screws are likely to strip.

I pulled out the X frame. The motor cannot be disassembled unless these three places are loosened. Although it is a Torx screw, we also recommend electric drill + bit. It is difficult with an L-type wrench. (T25)

The brushes weren’t as low as I expected. I polished the contacts, removed the old grease from the frame with a parts cleaner, and applied a lot of new grease.

down time 4.15 seconds → 3.26 seconds
up time 5.28 seconds → 3.92 seconds

There is no backlash and the movement is smooth.
