88 corolla window doesn't work

[mattfish]

Hi,
I am having a problem with my '88 Corolla. The rear passenger window doesn't wind up or down. I removed the inner door lining and I can see a large metal part that seems to have come loose.. Also, when I open and close the door I can hear the loose part inside the door.
I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to fix the problem ?.
Thanks.

I only once helped a friend fix such a problem on the driver's door, so I can't tell you much from memory. You need to get a service manual so you see exactly what parts are involved. In our case, a number of the screws had fallen out but they were all lying along the bottom of the door. We took the glass out by sliding it up. We took the machanism out, cleaned and lubed it and put it back the way it was supposed to be. We put the glass back in and it worked. There are enough access holes cut into the door to do this work if you don't have huge hands.
