Installation of power windows on a VAZ 2106

Today, almost all cars are equipped with such a mechanism as a window lifter and the VAZ “Six” is no exception. The main functions of this mechanism are lowering and raising the door windows. The VAZ 2106 is equipped with mechanical window lifters, which are a structure consisting of a pair of gears (driver and driven) that mesh with each other, a cable, tension rollers and a handle.

How to change the window regulator on a VAZ-2107

The windows in any car should be in good working order, even if they are rarely used. From the factory, the VAZ-2107 has manually controlled cable lifts. If the car has an electric drive, this already indicates that the car owner has looked at the view. In this article we will look at how to independently replace the power supply with a “family” one.

Design Features

Most owners of the seventh new generation model are confident that the process of replacing window regulators is somewhat difficult. This is due to the fact that the glass is attached to the supports and cable not in one place, but in two places. This solution required adding another video. 4 of them are currently in use (three for direction, one for tension).

It can be easily replaced with simple tools:

Step-by-step replacement at the front door

To install a new electric window, you must first remove the old mechanism.

Remove the three screws that secure the handle to the door.
Remove the handle.
Remove the door trim.

Before disassembling the factory winch, connect the two wire branches.

This is necessary so that the cable does not fall out of the grooves in the drum and the mechanism can be reused.

Structural deletion looks like this:

Lower the window one turn of the window handle so that you can reach the cable lock and glass supports through the technological doorways.
One screw must be completely removed and the other slightly loosened on the bracket to secure the cable to the bearing lug. Bring it out.
Lift the glass to its highest position and secure it with a standard screwdriver. You can use other tools at your disposal.
Take a 10mm wrench and slightly loosen the nut that secures the tension roller. He is concentrated under the door.
Remove the tension cable and the three guide reels.
Remove three nuts to attach the window power supply to the door.
Loosen the 2 nuts securing the guide groove and slide it to the right.
The final step is to remove the window from the door.

After removing the mechanism, you can check how the rollers rotate.

Installing a new window regulator

The new mechanism must have a bracket that secures two cable branches. It should not be removed until the installation is complete.

In general, the installation process looks like this:

Installing and securing the housing in its “own” place.
Installation of cables around the rollers.
Fastening glass clamps with cable. It is secured with screws with 2 brackets.
Installing the guide groove.
Cable tension.
The bracket is now removed which secures the cable branches.
Installation of doors and door trim.

You can route the cable around the rollers in two ways through the roller support (top or bottom). If the bar passes through the bottom roller, the cable runs like this:

Left guide roller (bottom).
Left guide (top).
Central tension spool (bottom).
Guide element in the upper right corner.

If you replace the front window regulator, it can be bypassed through the top coil in the opposite direction.

Lower the glass to the down position.
Turn the handle all the way to lower the window.
Adjust the cable tension by moving the desired roller.
Tighten the bolt that secures the roller.

Please note that the stretch marks should be sensitive. The cable should not stretch, but it should not hang either

If a squeak appears after installing a new mechanism, do the following:

Release and remove the cable from the rollers.
Cross the lower and upper branches coming out of the mechanism drum.
Repeat the installation and tensioning procedure.

Brief instructions for replacing the mechanism

In general, the procedure for replacing a window regulator looks something like this:

The door trim has been removed.
The cable is disconnected from the clamps holding the glass.
The cable has been removed from the rollers.
The guide channel and lifting mechanism are then removed.
Installing a new window regulator.
Refilling the cable.
Installation of glass brackets and cable tension.
Installing the door trim back.

To summarize, we note that the process of replacing power windows on a VAZ-2107 is a completely completed task for the car owner. During the repair process, the main thing is to carefully follow all the recommendations and installing a new mechanism will not be a problem for you.

How to replace or install power windows on a 6?

The standard front window lifter of the VAZ 2106 is an element of the interior of the car and is designed to allow air masses to enter the cabin and increase comfort in the vehicle when making trips of various durations.
In other words, when the windows are open, fresh air enters the cabin. The design of the system is quite simple: the VAZ 2106 window lifter mechanism consists of a window lifter cable moving between rigidly fixed rollers along a strictly defined route, a window lifter control handle and a window lift transmission system.

Car enthusiasts using the “six” sometimes have the question of replacing the window regulator if its lifting mechanism is defective. Let's look at how to install a window regulator on a VAZ 2106 so that distortions do not occur when moving the cable with the front window frame.

Replacing the "six" window regulator

How to install a window regulator on a VAZ 2106? The procedure for replacing the product is as follows:

We disassemble the door where it is necessary to install a window regulator to replace the faulty product;
We begin dismantling the defective product by removing the glass fastening strip to the window lift cable;
We move the cable to a position that does not interfere with work;
We remove the old window lift mechanism of the VAZ 2106;
We check the rollers for free rotation; if they lock during rotation, they must be lubricated with lithol.

1. It is forbidden to dismantle the bracket that secures the cable in the reel in assembled condition, otherwise, if the cable comes off the rollers when the reel is wound, the lifting mechanism will malfunction and it will be quite difficult to restore it to its previous condition.

2. When unwinding the cable for installation work, it is prohibited to touch the latch.

We attach the window regulators on the VAZ 2106 to the standard connections and pass the cable along the rollers according to the installation diagram;
In the area of the body part of the lifting mechanism, the cable must overlap, that is, its section coming out from the bottom of the drum is directed to the top roller, and from the top of the drum to the bottom roller;
We tension the cable on the rollers, for which we loosen the roller from below, which is subject to adjustment, and tighten it according to the attached diagram:

If the size of the cable is not enough, then you need to pull it onto 2 rollers and release the latch - clamp and place it on the roller elements without sagging;
After installing the window regulator, we tighten the cable without sagging, but also without special tension. If the locking device was not removed, it can now be released.
When securing the handles of the VAZ 2106 window lifters, we rotate the window lifter mechanism, and the entire system should rotate smoothly, without jolts or jams. Now we move the glass to the lower position, lower the windows, and attach the cable to the bar.

The procedure for removing and installing a window regulator on a VAZ 2106 on a video clip can be viewed on our Internet resource.

Electric window lifts "six"

The newly installed electric window lifts on the VAZ 2106 make it possible to eliminate the rotation of the window lifter handles when it is necessary to open the windshields at the front of the cabin. It also makes the trip more comfortable and allows you not to be distracted from the process of driving the vehicle.

Another serious advantage appears: when an additional electrical circuit is used in the installed alarm circuit, a method appears for operating the automation when closing the vehicle doors.

Many car enthusiasts are wondering how to replace the window regulator on a VAZ 2106 with a similar mechanism, but with an electric drive. Let us explain that there is nothing complicated in this technological operation; you must have basic plumbing skills and be able to use the tool.

The electric window lifter diagram for the VAZ 2106 is located here:

Window lifter malfunctions

In the summer, on a VAZ 2106, one of the devices that allows you to somehow cope with the stuffiness in the cabin is a window lift. If this mechanism does not work, then driving becomes a real pain. Therefore, Zhiguli owners should know what problems can arise with window regulators and how to fix them.

Glass fell

Mostly, glass falls due to loosening of the cable attachment to the glass itself. As a result, the cable slips, and the lowered window cannot be raised. If the problem lies in a loose fastening, then it will be enough to remove the door trim and tighten it, adjusting the relative position of the glass and the cable.

The glass does not respond to the rotation of the handle

If on your car, when you turn the window lifter handle, you cannot lower or raise the window and at the same time you feel that the mechanism is not working, then the main reason for this phenomenon is the licked slots on the handle itself. It is connected to the gearbox shaft through splines, but due to the soft material of manufacture, the splines on the handle wear out over time. In addition, premature wear is possible due to the tight movement of the glass, which can be caused by misalignment of the guides, the presence of a foreign object in the door, or problems in the gearbox itself.

When erasing the slots of door handles, problems arise with glass movement

Broken cable

One of the malfunctions of a mechanical window lifter is a broken cable. It manifests itself in the same way as when there is a problem with the handle, i.e. in the form of free rotation of the handle. Since the cable is not sold as a separate part, the window regulator in this case will have to be completely replaced. Attempts to restore the break will require a lot of time and effort, and the low cost of the device in question, amounting to about 200–300 rubles, indicates the inexpediency of repair.

Gearbox failure

The design of the window lifter is such that the gears of the gearbox can wear out over time, that is, their teeth simply wear out due to the softness of the metal. As a result, the mechanism runs idle, while the cable and glass do not move. It is possible to replace the worn gear by removing it from the old window lifter, but it is better to install a new product that will last much longer than a restored one.

Mechanism grinding

Sometimes, when the glass is raised or lowered, the device may make sounds similar to grinding. The reason may be a lack of lubrication or damage to one of the tension rollers, which is simply rubbed by the cable, causing the cable to jam inside the roller. In this case, the latter will have to be replaced. If the grinding noise is caused by a lack of lubricant, then you simply need to apply lubricant, for example, Litol-24, both to the gearbox itself and to the cable with rollers.

At the first sign of a grinding noise, the window regulator must be lubricated.

Glass creaks

During vehicle operation, the windows are exposed to various types of contaminants (dust, dirt, sand, etc.). When the door glass is lowered, the abrasive substances on it act on the surface, scratching it and producing a characteristic squeak. Although the doors are designed with special velvets (glass seals), which are designed to protect the glass from scratching by dust and sand, over time they wear out and do not perform their functions well. Therefore, if a characteristic squeak appears, it is better to replace the glass seals.

If a squeak appears while the glass is moving, then most likely the velvets have become unusable

Choosing window regulators

All manufactured window lifters can be divided into two main types:

universal window lifters (installed on the standard window lift control mechanism);
special devices for raising windows (mounted instead of factory window lifters).

Universal window regulators usually have a cable in their design, which significantly reduces their reliability. Cable breakage is one of the most common failures of devices of this type. However, universal window regulators are cheaper than special ones and are suitable for any car model. In addition, if they break down, you can use the car’s standard system.

Special window regulators are available for certain car models. Their installation is more complicated and involves dismantling the factory window raising system. Despite this, they have a huge advantage - reliability and speed of glass lifting. Such devices have a rack or lever design.

Window lift repair

Since repairing a window regulator in most cases involves replacing the mechanism, it is worth considering the step-by-step process from removal to installation. To do this you will need the following list of tools:

heads or keys for 8 and 10;
extension;
ratchet handle;
flat and Phillips screwdrivers.

Removing the window regulator

The procedure for removing the device from the car is as follows:

Use a screwdriver to pry up and remove the plugs on the armrest. Use a screwdriver to pry the armrest plugs out
Using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the fastening of the armrest to the door and remove it. Unscrew the armrest fastening and remove it from the door
We remove the trim of the window lifter handle by inserting a flat-head screwdriver between the socket and the trim element. Use a screwdriver to pry off the window handle trim
We dismantle the handle and socket. Remove the window handle and socket from the door
Use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the inner door handle trim. To remove the door handle trim, pry it off with a flat screwdriver.
We start the slotted screwdriver and push out the 7 clips that hold the door trim on the sides. The door trim is held in place with clips that need to be pryed off with a screwdriver.
Slightly lower the upholstery and remove it from the inside door handle. We remove the upholstery from the door, lowering it slightly
Lower the window completely and unscrew the cable clamp with a Phillips screwdriver. The cable is attached to the door glass using a suitable clamp
We unscrew the tension roller fastening, then move it and loosen the tension on the window lift cable. To release the tension roller, unscrew the nut with a 10mm wrench.
Remove the cable from the remaining rollers.
We unscrew the fastening of the mechanism and remove it from the door. To remove the window lifter, unscrew the 3 fastening nuts.
If the tension roller has become unusable, which can be determined by its external condition, then completely unscrew its fastening to replace it with a new part. To replace the tension roller, you must completely unscrew its fastening.

Replacing rollers

Window lifter rollers fail over time. Since replacing the top element is the most problematic, we will dwell on this process in more detail. The part to the door is fixed with hooks at the top, and with welding at the bottom. To work you will need the following set of tools:

set of drills;
electric drill;
flat screwdriver;
hammer;
new video.

The upper roller consists of the roller itself and the mounting plate

The replacement procedure consists of the following steps:

To remove the roller, we drill out the metal at the place where the plate is attached with a 4 mm drill.
We drive a flat screwdriver inside the door under the roller plate and knock it down with a hammer, dismantling the roller. Over time, the window lift rollers wear out with the cable.
Using the hole in the new plate, we drill a mounting hole in the door.
We install a new roller and secure it with a rivet or bolt and nut. The new roller is secured with a rivet or bolt and nut.

Window lifter installation

Before installing a new window lifter, you must check whether the rollers rotate freely. If necessary, lubricate them with Litol. The bracket that secures the cable should not be removed in advance so as not to confuse the mechanism, since returning everything to its original position will be quite problematic. We carry out installation as follows:

We install the window regulator in place, securing it with nuts.
We remove the bracket and place the cable on the rollers according to the diagram. The window lift cable must pass through the rollers according to a certain pattern.
We adjust the tension of the cable with the appropriate roller and tighten the fastening of the latter.
We fix the cable to the glass. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the fastening screw of the clamp.
We check the functionality of the mechanism.
We install the upholstery and door handle, as well as the window lifter handle.

Replacing the classic mechanism

For the VAZ 2106, mechanisms for raising windows come in two varieties:

Kinds	Characteristics
Cable.	They consist of an electric drive with a gearbox and a reel with a wound cable. The upper drum is connected to the classic window lifter through slots and is designed to operate the cable.
Rack and pinion.	They have a different design and work on the principle of a steering rack in a car. Such devices are good for hard-moving car windows, since the mechanism itself moves easily.

The classic mechanism on the VAZ 2106 is a simple device for raising and lowering the windows, which is controlled using a handle. Despite its simplicity, Six car owners encounter situations when the device needs to be replaced. Given the age of the car, the mechanism may break or malfunction.

The order of your actions when carrying out the procedure for removing a faulty product and installing a new one is as follows.

Remove the door where the window regulator will be replaced.
Disconnect the bar that secures the glass to the lifting cable. Move the cable itself to the side and remove the device.
Check how easily the rollers rotate. If necessary, lubricate them with lithol.
Attach the new mechanism to the standard connections, passing the cable along the rollers, as indicated in the installation diagram.
Pull the cable over the rollers without sagging or strong tension.
Secure the handles while rotating the lifting mechanism of the VAZ 2106 window regulator. The entire structure should rotate smoothly, without jolts.
Fix the glass in the lower position, lower the device, attach the cable to the bar.

Replacing the “six” window lifting mechanism is quite simple and does not require a lot of time and money.

The main aspects of repairing and replacing power windows on a VAZ 2105-2106 with your own hands

The VAZ 2106 window lifter has a reliable design, but, like any mechanism, it can fail. The article discusses typical malfunctions of power windows on the “classic” and provides instructions for removal and installation.

The mechanical window lifter on the VAZ 2106 has a simple design and consists of a control handle, a glass lift transmission system, a cable and three rollers.
Many drivers install electric windows instead of classic ones.
They come in two types:

Cable. The design includes an electric motor with a drum on which the cable is wound, and a gearbox. The upper drum is connected to a conventional window lifter using a spline. With its help the cable is activated.
Rack and pinion. They use the principle of a steering rack in a car.

To install the electric mechanism, you need to purchase a kit consisting of wires, fasteners, backlit control keys, a decorative plug, and installation instructions (the author of the video is VALENTIN VERNIGORA).

Common faults and solutions

Over time, the window lifting mechanism becomes unusable - it is impossible to raise or lower the glass.

There may be several reasons for a device malfunction:

cable break;
foreign objects entering the mechanism;
gearbox wear.

There is no point in repairing window regulators, since their cost is low; it is easier to buy a new device and replace it.

Device assembly diagram

Electric lifts may have the following faults:

All power windows do not work: the fuse is blown, there is no connection to ground, the wiring is broken. The repair consists of replacing fuses, restoring ground connections and electrical circuits.
The lift on one of the doors does not work. The switch is faulty, the reverse current relay is broken, the electric motor is broken, the wiring is broken, the connector is disconnected. Faulty parts should be replaced, the wiring restored, the connector connected.

Removal instructions

To complete the work you will need the following tools:

Phillips and flathead screwdrivers;
a set of keys;
knob;
extension.

The removal procedure consists of the following steps:

First of all, you need to remove the casing.
Next, the glass is lowered as far as possible. Use a Phillips screwdriver to unscrew the bolt holding the clamp.

Tuning a VAZ 2106 using the installation of electric windows

Most modern cars are equipped with such a necessary device as electric windows at the factory. This necessary and useful function greatly simplifies the process of raising and lowering the windows.

The VAZ 2106 cannot boast of this option in the factory configuration, however, its owners are not deprived of the attention of car equipment manufacturers who produce power window kits for self-installation. To install electric windows on a VAZ 2106, you must have some plumbing skills, as well as experience in electrical work

Functions of the VAZ 2106 window lifter

The window lifter is responsible for raising and lowering the glass in the doors.

Brief instructions for replacing the mechanism

In general, the procedure for replacing a window regulator looks like this:

The door trim is removed.
The cable is disconnected from the clips that hold the glass.
The cable is removed from the rollers.
Next comes the removal of the guide chute and the lift mechanism.
Installing a new window regulator.
Threading the cable.
Fixing the glass brackets and tensioning the cable.
Reinstalling the door trim.

To summarize, we note that the process of replacing a window regulator on a VAZ-2107 is a completely feasible task for the car owner. During the repair process, the main thing is to carefully follow all the recommendations and installing a new mechanism will not be a problem for you.

Types of window regulators - what will VAZ please?

Electric windows have recently been increasingly installed on domestically produced cars. The installation of such devices began at the dawn of the 2000s. Before this, all VAZ cars were equipped with ordinary cable-operated windows with manual controls.

The VAZ 2107, the production of which began in the late 80s of the last century, is equipped with a manual window lifter. This type of window control is familiar to most owners of VAZ cars. The VAZ 2110 model already has an electric window lifter, which is much more convenient and practical compared to the manual control type. Electrical devices are not something new. They began to be installed in imported cars back in the 80s, but this “know-how” reached our automobile industry only recently.

Based on the type of operating mechanism, window lifters can be divided into several types. The most basic and widely used in VAZ 2107 cars are rack and pinion, they require constant care and lubrication. It often happens that the gears of this mechanism are made of plastic, which is why the mechanism wears out catastrophically quickly.

Due to the type of construction, they require much more space in the car than cable ones. When using such window lifters, glass distortion is completely eliminated. The operation of the device is to transmit the rotation of a gear, which interacts with a linear type of rack on which the glass carriage is placed. Rack and pinion windows are reliable and produce less noise than cable windows.

The second type of window lifter is on a cable; by design, they are very weak and often fail. The main element of such window lifters is a cable and a torque mechanism. The advantage of this type of mechanism over others is its high maintainability. It is not difficult to carry out partial or complete repairs or replacement of parts in such a window regulator. Most often, the cable wears out, since it is very thin. The gears of this mechanism are made of plastic and tend to break when the glass is skewed. The cable window mechanism works quite slowly, especially if the glass rubber seals prevent this, so the electric motor tends to overheat and fail.

The newest window lifters that have recently begun to be used in VAZ 2110 cars are lever ones; their work is carried out using hinges. Such devices work very quickly and do not create noise inside the car, but they consume a considerable amount of power. They are used only in conjunction with an electric drive. The operation of the window lifter occurs due to the execution of a certain number of revolutions of the main flat gear, which transmits the revolutions to the levers of the mechanism. After this, the levers rotate and move the main plate on which the glass is attached.

The main disadvantage of the lever mechanism is the low speed of glass movement - the higher the glass rises, the lower the speed of its movement. The main feature of lever window lifters is the small size of the mechanism and the ability to install them on many VAZ cars. This type is installed on fully equipped VAZ 2110 cars, since it is more expensive and practical in its use. If your car has a cable or rack and pinion mechanism, then installing a lever mechanism will require some modernization of the car. It is better to carry it out at a specialized car service center.

Design Features

Before you start replacing the window regulator on a VAZ-2107, you should carefully study the design of this part. There are two types of manual window lifters:

Rack and pinion. The gears of this mechanism are plastic, which is why the mechanism quickly wears out and fails. Moreover, the mechanism is more bulky and takes up more space under the door card. This design has its advantages - skewing the glass is impossible, and the raising and lowering of the glass element is much quieter than with other mechanisms.
Cable. In such a window lifter, the main element is a cable, with the help of which the glass moves up and down. The load is taken on by the rotating mechanism blocks. This design is quite simple and has a significant advantage - maintainability. In order to repair or replace any parts, you won’t have to put in too much effort. But the system also has a drawback - it is not very reliable.

In some stores you can purchase electric windows for the VAZ-2107 to make every trip even more comfortable. However, it is worth considering that connecting this device will require a little more time. All actions are carried out strictly according to the scheme.

It is also necessary to remember that any intervention in the electrical system must be carried out carefully, in accordance with the instructions of the electric window manufacturer.

Removing the window regulator

After the door trim is removed, you can proceed directly to removing the window lifter. For this you will need:

crosshead screwdriver;
two heads ( 10 and 8
);
hammer or ratchet handle;
extension.

The first stage of work

To remove the window lifter, you need to unscrew the fastening of the window lifter cable clamp, which is held on by two bolts: to release the cable in this place, you just need to loosen one of the bolts and the clamp itself will fall down. After the clip is removed, you need to go to the left side of the door and loosen the roller nut

, after, the window lift cable can be completely removed from the door.
The window lifter fastening mechanism is held on by three bolts
; removing them is not difficult at all - you just need to take the necessary tool and unscrew all the bolts one by one (when unscrewing the last bolt, you need to hold the window lifter mechanism from the outside so that it does not fall out and damage something).

Further

Once all the bolts are unscrewed, the car enthusiast will only have to remove and unscrew just one nut, which is located on the inside of the door under the window lifter fastening mechanism, and after this nut is removed, all that remains is to carefully pull the mechanism to the right and pull it out of the door entirely. {banner_content}

Repair of a window lifter on a classic using the example of a VAZ 2101

Repair of a window lifter on a classic using the example of a VAZ 2101

Driver's door A rather familiar situation for owners of classics. The glass does not hold.

The reason is a malfunction of the window lifter, or a break in its cable.

Let's move on to disassembling the door. We unscrew all the handles on the doors,

carefully (so as not to break the plastic fasteners), remove the door card with a screwdriver

Let's see. The cause of the malfunction was that one end of the cable jumped out of the fastener

Let's move on to the repair. We need to remove the window regulator itself (it is located on the inside of the door) and re-wind the tights around it.

To do this, use a size 8 wrench to unscrew the three bolts of the window lifter holder.

If the cables are out of place, twisted, tangled, they need to be twisted. We put a handle on the lift and screw (equalize) the cables onto it.

Features of replacing the VAZ 2107 window regulator

For owners of other VAZ “classic” cars, replacing the VAZ 2107/2105 window regulator may seem unnecessarily complicated.

Since there are four rollers in total, one tension roller and three guides, and the cable is connected to the solid glass brackets in two places, the cable around the rollers can be routed in two ways - through the upper or lower rolling bearings.

When passing through the lower roller, the upper cable exiting the mechanism is directed through: the lower left guide roller, the upper left guide support, the lower central tension roller, the upper right roller. As an alternative, tracing is also done through the upper roller, which is done in the reverse order. In the same case, the lower cable is guided.

You should prefer the optimal tension force of the cable drive: the cable should not be overtightened, but should not dangle.

Unscrew the lock button by hand or with a Phillips screwdriver. We insert the blade of a flat-head screwdriver between the socket and the trim of the window handle.

We press the lining away from the socket and unplug them.

Remove the handle trim and the window lifter handle.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, through the holes in the armrest, unscrew the three screws securing it.

One of the email window regulators work much slower

Window regulators in any car must be in good condition, even if they are used very rarely. From the factory, the VAZ-2107 is equipped with cable lifts that are manually activated. If an electric drive is installed on the car, this already indicates that modifications have been made by the car owner. In this article we will consider the question of how to replace the window regulator on the “seven” yourself.

Installing a new window regulator

The new mechanism must necessarily have a bracket that secures two branches of cables. It cannot be removed until a full installation has been completed.

In general, the installation process looks like this:

Installing and fixing the case in its “own” place.
Installing cables around the rollers.
Fastening the glass clips with a cable. It is fixed with screws using 2 brackets.
Installation of the guide groove.
Cable tension.
Now the bracket that secures the branches of the cable is removed.
Installation of door trim and handles.

The cable can be routed around the rollers in two ways through the rolling support (upper or lower). If the line goes through the lower roller, then the cable is routed as follows:

Left guide roller (lower).
Left guide support (top).
Central tension reel (bottom).
The guide element is at the top right.

If the front window regulator is being replaced, then you can loop it through the upper coil in the reverse order.

Stretching process:

Lower the glass to the down position.
Turn the handle all the way in the direction of lowering the window.
Adjust the cable tension by moving the required roller.
The bolt clamp that secures the roller.

Please note that the tension should be sensitive. The cable should not be overtightened, but it should not be allowed to dangle either.

The glass does not respond to the rotation of the handle

If the handle is damaged, you only have to replace it, and it is better to choose a part equipped with a reinforced metal insert.
