Window tool replacement / alternate?

Post by Nick_from_Brooklyn »

My rear window is stuck open. I've read about the tool in the toolkit and mine is missing. Does anyone know what size the hex is, I figure I can just buy a long allen wrench.

Who's got the best guide on how to do this? There are so many posts, as I understand the small wrench disengages the motor and a larger wrench operates the window?

Ralph,
Thank you so much. Please let me know if you received PMs. They seems to be stuck in my outbox and won't go.

I should have read your post more thoroughly. The rear windows usually have the tool (or similar facsimile) as part of the mechanism. Remove the small round cover and look at what's there. The sparkplug tool fits the white plastic drive

ETA on USPS mail is Tuesday. Pray you get it by Wednesday

No that tool is missing that was my first attempt to fix. I tried to swap the switches just as a shot in the dark.
