Flap above the rear window came up and i can't put it down! how do i put it down??

Hi.

Get a can of DW40. Spray it all over the cap and inside where the key goes, leave for 10 or 15 mins and then try and open it.


Good luck.

That could be mechanical or eletrical either way take to a body shop or mechanic who can take it apart an put it back together an make it work.It needs special attention.

I would try to recalibrate the climate control head

Dear An,
Underneath and behind the dashboard are the parts of the car that are giving you problems.
They are inside a black plastic box that has all the air conditioning and heating apparatus.
It is quite likely you have a "sticking flap" inside the air passage vents, or something in that order.
When it is taken apart, it is likely you will see the problem.
Shops often charge higher process for this repair, as it is complicated and time consuming.
God bless your efforts.

All three wire showing 3 it should be all 4 wires, In the back of the rear seat is the convertable top module, the yelloow black wire should go ground to bring it down.Other than that a new module will be needed,this gets its command from the window main switch so see if yellow/black wire switches over

I had an 86 Deville

You have to drill out the rivets
-- to remove the window regulator & motor assy

If the motor is bad (test it-put battery
12v to it) then you drill out the smaller
rivets to remove the motor & keep the
window regulator if good.

If the regulator is bad, remove the good motor
& put it in the new regulator

The regulator can be bolted back in as you
will not have a big size pop rivet tool for that,

Before you remove the rivets, check the height of the
window glass above the door,when window is down
You can set it just above the molding per build or down
even by adjusting how you bolt the regulator in

The regulators wear out & cause a sloppy window movement
& the plastic on top can not be fixed

nor can you afford one.

If what i had given earlier for the reset didnt work, the motors may be burned out.

There is a micro switch in the latch that seems to fail too often. Does the over-head warning lamp continually flash ? If so, this is an electrical problem.

The side flaps should lower when the top is fully secured in either up or down positions.

The side flap motors seem to be about as durable as the rear side window lift assembly in this vehicle, which is not long. Side rear window lift assemblies are replaced a lot when the vehicle is around 5 to 6 years old..

Due to the complexity of the system and the need for a factory manual or experience to locate all the safety features and switches to this system, you need to consult your dealer.

sliding the rear view mirror onto the metal tab on the window. look at the part of the mirror that slides over the peice on the window. one end is open and has grooves on the side. you have to put the base of the mirror above the metal mount and flat against the window then slide it down over the mount. there may be a screw to hold it in place.

The suggested fix above did fix my problem. The problem is that a 2.5" hinged finger that pops up from the floor of the door opening to block the door. Apparently, the finger should, but doesnt go back down after the gas flap is closed. Even after I got hinged finger down (so that the sliding door would open/close all the way), it still would not go back down after the gas flap has been opened. i.e. I have to push the finger back down every time after we fill up with gas. It looks like there is a little wire/spring that should pull the finger back down, but it is off of the finger. I think that replacing this back on the finger should fix the problem permanently.
